On this Gwen Ifill crap, have the people who are complaining READ THE BOOK????!!!!
If there is no endorsement of the candidate then I have trouble with all this complaining. From what I have heard, Ifill's book uses barack as a centerpiece for the changing of the old guard of black politics according to the description on Amazon and other articles I read. This on it's own does not equal Barack slant, it's more then likely a contextualized historical perspective.
Plus It's not like this is a secret, Ifill discussed the book last month with the Washington post as politico pointed out.
There have been other pieces on that same topic written before, I hardly believe it's an ENDORSEMENT of Obama himself. I'm not saying anyone here who is saying that is predjiduced, but I think there's this idea that because Ifill wrote such a book and cause she is black then she is invariably pro-obama AAAAAAAAAANNNDDDD that she will not moderate the debate effectively. (which is roadkill cause I've seen her moderate before)
Like I said I haven't read the book, but if people complaining (not singling out anyone alone here) haven't read it they NEED TO CHILL OUT.
Association DOES NOT EQUAL causation!
