STEPHANOPOULOS: Gwen Ifill, the attorney general has tried to get on top of that this week, describing his -- friends describing a creeping sense of remorse over that targeting of James Rosen. He's met with several journalist organizations over the week on a kind of background basis, which has caused a lot of consternation with some. Is he going to have to go?
GWEN IFILL: Well you know how, when it's about journalism, how kind of navel-gazy we get.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Right, the public doesn't seem to care about this.
IFILL: We care terribly, so it has to be important. But -- but here's -- there's not going to be a Kumbayah moment here. One of the interesting things that's coming out -- come out of these meetings with -- with newspaper bureau chiefs, and broadcast bureau chiefs in Washington is that it turns out, nobody knows how anybody does anybody's job. I guess I believe this, that it didn't occur to the people of the Justice Department that this is what reporters do all the time. That they go -- they -- they urge. That they try to get information, that they flatter.
The question to me becomes, to what end? Are we -- was -- it's not whistle-blowing we're talking about -- we're just talking about getting information, secret information, for secret information's sake. And so journalists have to look at our motives and our accountability in these matters, as well as the administration. (This Week, June 2, 2013)

Gwen Ifil - STFU and go away you obama sycophant. I feel entitled to say this as she is a public employee whose salary we pay.
So tortured. It’s Sunday morning, they have to say something to prop up the Obama regime. So they come up with this?
Pathetic.
Gwen Awful: “We care terribly so it has to be important....” What an idiotic remark.
The persecution of journalists demonstrates clearly that, just like with Stalin, if you are in the inner circle your are in danger with this administration. This administration cares about one thing and one thing only and that is prolonging its power no matter what has to be done. They would turn on their own grandmothers..........oh already has.
That’s a pretty idiotic statement, even for her!
Did you think we forgot, Gwen? You were fired from ABC and ended up at NPR because you used “We” when discussing Democrats. You let the mask slip and embarrassed ABC.
Truth in advertising would demand that she be introduced as a Democrat strategist.
Hey moron that’s what real journalists do; THEY SEARCH FOR SECRET INFORMATION!
Nowadays J-school just teaches journalists to parrot Dem talking points.
This fits with Dan Rather statement (years ago): "WE determine whats news and whats not!"
I watched that exchange and she didn't even hesitate before switching the focus on to journalists. She said 'we have to do a better job'...etc.
Basically, deflecting any criticism of Holder while 'taking one for the team'. She is a disgusting POS.
This is the new RAT meme: Rosen gave away “the most secret info” for his own “vanity”. Norman Ornstein and Walter Pincus (WaPo) went off on this theme all weekend. It is garbage. Rosen revealed NOTHING sensitive. They are furiously circling the wagons. The problem? The media will believe Ifill and lay off Obama once Holder is gone, and let the story drop.
Nowadays J-schools are pretty much open about the fact that their students are taught to be the advancing vanguard of a Global Socialist Revolution.

Two of the Administration’s staunch defenders. Did they meet with Obama at the White House?
Ah yes, Gwen Ifill! Wax so eloquently, does she not?
Gwen Ifill, the PBS newsperson who held in her hand, a book extolling Obama, that she wrote, ONE DAY BEFORE THE DEBATE SHE MODERATED!!!
She, along with every PBS employee, and any other newsperson that would suffer a nasal fracture if Hussein Obama stopped short, should be handed a 72-hour pink slip! No two weeks, (corporate America does it in the same day), no finish out your contract nonsense. Hand it to them on a Friday, effective as of Monday!
Closing PBS’s government funding et al, would save us money, too.
