Actually, neither has received what they deserve. (I sure wish we had a "swift kick in the butt" smiley here....)

Actually she has made a number of idiotic statements. I mostly remember her as a useful idiot... ...who happens to look like a magpie.

Other than that, she was okay.

Helen Thomas was born to Lebanese immigrant parents whose last name of "Antonious" was anglicized to "Thomas" when they passed through Ellis Island. She was raised in the Greek Orthodox Church.

She is a bigoted Jew-hater. She spoke these words to a Rabbi who interviewed her outside the White House Jewish Heritage Celebration on May 27, 2010. She was fully cognizant that the interviewer is a Rabbi, so the opinion expressed in this video is absolutely her own.

So now the Brady Bunch are lionizing her because they automatically latch onto corrupt thinking. It's in their (broken) moral compass. They can't help themselves. Thomas's moral compass is equally broken, therefore, they are kindred spirits.
