CNN Anchor Lectured by Amanpour for Joking About the "Objectivity" of Helen Thomas - Video 8/4/09

Here is video this afternoon of liberal CNN reporter Christiane Amanpour lecturing CNN anchor Kyra Phillips after Phillips poked fun at long-time White House Correspondent Helen Thomas, who was serenaded and kissed by President Obama today for her birthday. Phillips simply joked she wondered how Thomas would maintain her "objectivity" after that.

Amanpour, who had been interrupted by the events at the White House became very defensive of Thomas and told Phillips:

"I'm going to refer you all the way back to the Nixon administration when he came out in the press room and congratulated her on being named the first female dean of the White House Press Corps. And she had no problem continuing to be highly objective."

Of course, the truth is that Helen Thomas has been rabidly against every Republican President. She has not been objective for at least the last 30 years, and probably long before that.
