This editorial recognized Thomas "has no one to blame but herself for the ignominious final chapter" (in her long career).
It balanced praise of most of her career with criticism of her anti-Semitic outburst, although it never mentioned anti-Semitism.
Misleading: An inset in the editorial read: "ILL-CHOSEN, UGLY WORDS. Pioneering female journalist, 89, ends career with anti-Israel tirade."
This was not an "anti-Israel tirade;" it was an anti-Semitic tirade. She was telling Jews to get out of their homeland.
Overall, the editorial was balanced, even if one doesn't agree with its take on the incident.
