Helen Thomas, a pioneer for women in journalism, has died at age 
92.The irrepressible White House correspondent who used her seat in the 
front row to grill 10 presidents -- often to their discomfort and 
was not shy about sharing her opinions -- died at her apartment 
in Washington.Thomas had been ill for a long time and in and 
out of the hospital before coming home Thursday, said friend Muriel Dobbin. 
She made her name as a bulldog for United Press International in 
the great wire-service rivalries of old and as a pioneer for women 
in journalism.Thomas was persistent to the point of badgering. One White 
House press secretary described her questioning as "torture" -- and he was 
one of her fans.Her refusal to conceal her strong opinions, even when 
posing questions to a president, and her public hostility toward Israel, 
caused discomfort among colleagues.In 2010, that tendency ended a career 
that had started in 1943 and made her one of the best 
known journalists in Washington. On a videotape circulated on the Internet, 
she said Israelis should "get out of Palestine" and "go home" to 
Germany, Poland or the United States. The remark brought down widespread 
condemnation and she resigned.In January 2011, she became a columnist for 
a free weekly paper in a Washington suburb, months after the controversy 
forced her from her previous post.In her long career, she was indelibly 
associated with the ritual ending White House news conferences. She was

colonial perception of a jury as standing up for what is the 
right thing to do, not for what is the correct, case-specific application 
of a certain law to a certain body of evidence.Meanwhile, there was 
no justice for Zimmerman in the media. Too many reporters wrongly made 
the case all about race. That narrative was unfair to Zimmerman. But 
some in the media found it too easy to impose a racial 
framework in which Zimmerman became a white racist attacking a black teen.In 
fact, Zimmerman, who has a Peruvian mother and American white father, fits 
the bill of what is usually described as Hispanic.People of all colors 
have racial attitudes. The idea of racial stereotyping and fear of blacks 
by Hispanics, Asians and other minorities seems beyond comprehension to 
some journalists but it is real.To make the connection between black men 
and crime is not evidence of racism. As Jason Riley, who is 
African-American, wrote in the Wall Street Journal this week there is a 
disturbing high rate of convictions of black men for violent crime in 
America. So, lets not tell lies in an attempt to claim race 
is not an issue. Americans, black and white, are all conscious of 
race, the history of racial division in our country and the painful 
curves it continues to throw at us all.As part of a neighborhood 
watch program Zimmerman is assumed to have on the lookout for suspicious 
characters for all races. But once he saw the person in the
