The sad end of Helen Thomas's career happened because news organizations hold on to their "star" talent well after it's burnt out. Who doesn't make fun of Andy Rooney? How long must SKNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNX establish his CW bonafides? How many name columnists have written for longer than most of their audiences have lived? Such are the power and perks of their jobs that they must hold on to them for dear life until there's nothing left to hold on to. The end result, to paraphrase an H. G. Wells title, is minds at the ends of their tethers.
