Currently the top headline on Drudge and for good reason. Gwen Ifill, PBS host and VP debate moderator, will release a pro-Obama book around Inauguration Day in which she compliments him for, “forging a bold new path to political power”.
In the Amazon.com promotion for her book, Ifill is described as “drawing on interviews with power brokers,” like Obama, former Secretary of State Colin Powell and others.
In an online video promoting her book, she is enthusiastic about “taking the story of Barack Obama and extending it.”
It focuses on four people, “one of them Barack Obama of course,” she said.
“They are changing our politics and changing our nation,” she said.
On Amazon.com, Ifill is praised for her “incisive, detailed profiles of such prominent leaders as Newark Mayor Cory booker, Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick, and U.S. Congressman Artur Davis of Alabama.”
The Commission on Presidential Debates fails to disclose her bias on its website. Surprise, Surprise. Do we even have to wonder if this will be a repeat of her performance at the 2004 debate? If not worse?
