Why is Helen Thomas still covering the White House?

In the wake of the Jeff Guckert mess, why is Helen Thomas considered an impartial journalist?

She's saying that if Dick Cheney runs for president, she will kill herself. She doesn't strike me as a particularly credible source, so I don't believe this statement either, but how can someone pretending to be a journalist make these comments?

Additional comment in The Corner on NRO here.

Unlike Guckert, she actually is a journalist, has been one for over four decades, and has in her career earned the credentials-- the trust of readers and editors-- which Guckert/Gannon tried to pull from a Cracker Jacks box.
