Election headgear fashion! RT @DA_News: #DAMpuLaunch @helenzille shows off her blue beret at the press conference. pic.twitter.com/LUq6SauRsc
— Helen Zille (@helenzille) March 1, 2014Helen recently got into a brawl with a journalist she accused of being in the pocket of the Economic Freedom Fighters. Unfotunately for the Democratic Alliance, Helen Zille allows herself to be drawn into arguments, or even to start them in an instance. Helen Zille is a former journalist, known for taking on the Apartheid government. She was a member of the radical left wing feminist Black Sash movement. Her recent taking note of Carien Du Plessis, for alleged biased reporting was seen all the way in Paris, France, where the Beret is most famous as a commonly worn headgear.
RFI think that Helen Zille targeting a white anti-DA, EFF supporting Journalist for ridicule, may lose DA votes. pic.twitter.com/93gdonDcIW
— Marc Evan Aupiais (@SACNSNew) March 2, 2014. @helenzille Do you have any comment to claims in French media that you will lose votes for taking on @City_Press ? pic.twitter.com/93gdonDcIW
— Marc Evan Aupiais (@SACNSNew) March 2, 2014.@RFIAfrique I highly doubt that will lose her votes.
— Marc Evan Aupiais (@SACNSNew) March 2, 2014So what caused the notice of a government sponsored French media outlet which likes to focus on Southern Africa, and broadcast terrestrially in many nations?
It is amazing how some journalists think that criticising bad journalism is attacking freedom of the press. We ALL have freedom of opinion!
— Helen Zille (@helenzille) February 23, 2014Criticising biased, unprofessional and inaccurate journalism does NOT undermine media freedom. It promotes it.
— Helen Zille (@helenzille) February 23, 2014I will defend journalists' RIGHT to write rubbish. But I will not remain silent about the rubbish they write. Others also have rights.
— Helen Zille (@helenzille) February 23, 2014So which journalist?
“@TrendsSthAfrica: #daisajoke is now trending in South Africa http://t.co/da6Yagy7Me” elections war heating up on twitter..
— carien du plessis (@carienduplessis) February 23, 2014@carienduplessis And you, as a reporter, are trending for distorted, inaccurate, biased and unprofessional reporting. Top of the log.
— Helen Zille (@helenzille) February 23, 2014@noblinkers1 @carienduplessis she always distorts. She once told me she was planning to vote EFF, and that is quite obvious in her writing.
— Helen Zille (@helenzille) February 23, 2014@worrallad @carienduplessis Nothing paranoid. Just apply the fact check to her reporting and you'll see. We are also allowed to cry foul.
— Helen Zille (@helenzille) February 23, 2014@worrallad Let one thing: journalists do NOT have a monopoly on criticism. Journalists deserve far more than they give. Pathetic.
— Helen Zille (@helenzille) February 23, 2014@KUBANE Not just now. Every time. She is a seriously biased journalist desperate to curry favour with the left because of her background.
— Helen Zille (@helenzille) February 23, 2014@preyan She is so desperate to be politically correct. Pathetic.
— Helen Zille (@helenzille) February 23, 2014@NtateKau Yeah you are right. Carien is trying so desperately to hide the Missus class from which she comes. Shame.
— Helen Zille (@helenzille) February 23, 2014@CdePulane They can fight their own battles and they do. But I am sick and tired of biased, unfounded distorted reporting a la Carien.
— Helen Zille (@helenzille) February 23, 2014@nobudlams Not at all. Very few political journalists distort reporting as much as Carien.
— Helen Zille (@helenzille) February 23, 2014@KUBANE She is so terrified that she will be damned by her own complexion that she has to bend over to prove her political correctness.
— Helen Zille (@helenzille) February 23, 2014This one's for you @Shantiaboobaker RT @gavdavis: 'anonymous sources' now pass for 'journalism' 4 reporters who let themselves be used...
— Helen Zille (@helenzille) February 23, 2014@MattChirp @carienduplessis Just the usual, nothing strange. Misreporting and distoring. Every week.
— Helen Zille (@helenzille) February 23, 2014@theeonlycraig We cannot sit by and watch the unprofessionalism in the media. We take it. So must unprofessional journos. Geddit?
— Helen Zille (@helenzille) February 23, 2014@RFDEBRUIN It is time for bad reporters to feel the heat. And they will.
— Helen Zille (@helenzille) February 23, 2014@Mehluli_Vic @noblinkers1 She is already. Loves Red.
— Helen Zille (@helenzille) February 23, 2014@brodiegal Shame. I can do BOTH. They attack us everyday. What privilege can they claim? Especially when they get it wrong!
— Helen Zille (@helenzille) February 23, 2014@brodiegal And since when are joiurnalists immune from criticism? They claim to know it all, even when they are totally wrong.
— Helen Zille (@helenzille) February 23, 2014@AnionSky But when she writes biased rubbish, we have the right and duty to expose it.
— Helen Zille (@helenzille) February 23, 2014@VusumziValela I used to write accurate stuff, as history has shown. I also did verbatim shorthand. At speaking speed.
— Helen Zille (@helenzille) February 23, 2014@DaPillay Yes, and sometimes they also get it wrong. Are they immune to criticism? And the DA is the key to democracy. We get criticised!
— Helen Zille (@helenzille) February 23, 2014@TshepoMmonye Hitler wiped out half my family. You sound like some of the journalists I am criticising.
