Ridiculous. Washington University is currently receiving a ton of complaints because of Gwen Ifill’s alleged bias.
Note to wingnuts: Even granting your argument that Ifill is biased (which I do not), the site of the debate has no input as to the moderator, just as they have no input as to the format, podium height, or myriad other details that the two campaigns negotiate for a presidential debate. If you have a problem with her, take it up with Team McCain. They agreed to have Ifill moderate this debate even knowing that Ifill would be publishing a book on a new generation African-American politicians.
that probably emanates from the campaign–I just love McCain’s balanced but tentative reassurances that Ifill is not really a problem, except … . It is just an effort to proactively set the stage for the spin in case Palin bombs–it will be convenient to blame the moderaor, who is, incidentally, a member of the nasty anti-Palin media.. Scary though that so many of the right-wing are so ready to snap to and jump on it.
I’ve been so busy. So I went out to run errands at lunch only to discover Forsyth blocked etc. I BLAME GWEN IFILL!
She obviously controls Washington University and all the security cordons.
