Even Old Pros Make New Media Mistakes

A flip comment by Helen Thomas is now haunting the longest seated member of the White House press corps. Judging from the look of the video, Thomas likely didn't take the casual taping seriously. Regardless, she put her foot well into her mouth over foreign policy with Isreal. Could care less about the politics here, more interested in the point that even the most experienced of media members make errors of judgment. Should refocus your efforts to take care both with your own work, and impressing the increasing need for student-athletes to take both their privacy and their public statements seriously.
