PBS Ombudsman Calls Gwen Ifil "Self Inflicted Wound"

PBS ^ | Sept. 2, 2015 | By Michael Getler

“Take that, Bibi” is, in my book, inexcusable for an experienced journalist

Agreed, but Gwen and Jorge and these other leftist progressive activists are NOT journalists. So let's begin calling them by what they are, political activists and then it's OK for them to make biased statements.

does anyone know if this “journalist” acts or has acted in a similar matter to Conservative and/or Christians?

[oh8eleven]

Ifill is a highly experienced journalist, very quick, alert, knowledgeable, and with an engaging on-air personality.

I could have done this myself. I believe her that she meant it to mean, “LOL, the White House might as well have said ‘Take that, Bibi!’” In other words, she was rewording their message. But it sounded like it was her saying it. (It didn’t help that her mug shot was next to it.) What is inexcusable is that she didn’t realize what would happen. Sometimes Twitter is not our friend. This goes for Trump too.

[upchuck]

IMHO, Twitter causes more problems than it solves. It is not conducive to a reasoned discussion.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

PBS was a creation of LBJ.
Nothing’s changed since “the Big Fool said press on.”

[Genoa]

...also, it didn’t help that this is probably what Ifill was thinking anyway, whatever she intended the tweet to mean.

[A_Former_Democrat]

Ifill should be fired for that.

But of course she won’t as she is the Poster Child for “affirmative action” Taxpayer subsidized, overpaid, underworked, can’t be fired, biased quasi governmental employment. Stick that black face out there in the name of “look at us, we’re ‘diverse’”

To no one’s surprise, her true color(s) comes thru

[depressed in 06]

From Gwen and 34 Bolshies.

[MarvinStinson]

Mentally challenged Gwen Ifil has only one qualiificat ion to a member of the “news” media—she is “african-american.”

[Wilderness Conservative]

Defund PBS. They can make it on their own just fine.

[Cowboy Bob]

If Trump or Cruz become president, they should not abolish PBS, but instead to a hostile takeover. Force it to become the leading supporter of Democracy and Capitalism.

[LydiaLong]

But she is also black, and 96% of blacks voted for Obama. What do you expect?

[A_Former_Democrat]

Here we go ago, daughter of immigrants. Immigration is manufacturing left wingers day and night

Her bio shows she’s bounced from paper to paper, then of course winds up long-term with PBS. What does that tell you? Hired due to her color, movin’ on up, then crash landing to a soft, safe location where she’s guaranteed a lifetime income.

[originalbuckeye]

If the RNC allows Ifill to moderate a debate this election season, they (those in control of the RNC) should be removed from power. She is as bad, if not worse, than the Obama loving Candy Crowley.

[Chaguito]

So?

[to Mr Getler]

[Old Sarge]

On my profile page, I have the Tweet from Patrick Gaspard when ObamaTax was declared legal by John Roberts.

It’s how they think, folks...

[stephenjohnbanker]

“If the RNC allows Ifill to moderate a debate this election season,....”

They probably will, as Karl Marx is no longer available.
