If you have any doubt that Christians must be very discerning in their consumption of news media material, check out the video below. Helen Thomas is a highly regarded member of the White House Press Corps.

Mrs. Thomas has issued a sort-of apology for her statements, but the apology does not address the actual content of what she said or retract any of the position she stated. Aside from the unprofessional nature of her comments, my concern for Mrs. Thomas and those who agree with her comes from the words of God to Abraham in Genesis 12:3:

"I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse."

I know that this does not mean that a person must always agree with the nation of Israel politically, but the bitter spirit exposed by her comments betrays, it seems to me, an underlying hostility to God's chosen people, the Jews.
