Sad. She was a good journalist.

[Da Coyote]

Cancer is such an evil thing (if things are indeed evil).

I wish this type of death on no one, having lost my first wife due to it.

[dfwgator]

I was wondering where she was during the debates.

[SMARTY]

That’s too young. Very sad.

That’s too young. Very sad.

[Alas Babylon!]

I hope this thread doesn’t get deleted.

Several on this subject already have been.

My condolences to the living she left behind. They are upheld in prayers.

Her?
Not so much.

RIP. Prayers to her family & friends.

[Mr. Douglas]

Interestingly, I’ve been researching the meaning of the word, “evil” in the bible. It really means “bad”. e.g. when God causes a very bad thing to come upon a people or person, the bible will often say God did “evil”. But it means God killed them all and, for them, it was a bad thing to happen.

I think when people use the word, “evil” regarding a thing or person, what they really mean is, “wicked”. e.g. Hillary is a wicked woman.

This is the 3rd article I’ve read on this and the 1st to mention cancer. I should think that cancer would be in the lede. I can understand a desire for privacy, but stating it right off, when once dies so young, eliminates witless conjecture and gossip. May she RIP.

This is no longer 1955. Cancer is openly discussed nowadays.

[SaveFerris]

agreed

[shhrubbery!]

I agree. She may have been a Leftist, but she always behaved as a professional. She was not a showboater, but was intelligent, decent and dignified. RIP Gwen Ifill.

Really? I hope it wasn’t because of unkind comments.

[OrangeHoof]

Waiting for liberals to blame Trump in 3,2,1...

[Nifster]

Gwen was a good reporter when she covered Bay Area stories for the local station

Prayers for her family

I noticed that, and I don't understand why. It is certainly a newsworthy item.

[leaning conservative]

Aah, a person who did not receive the grace when someone dies memo. Why even post something negative on a death thread? That’s what your basement is for.

[Charles Henrickson]

Maybe I missed it, but I don’t see any other thread still up on this story. So it is not “alreadyposted.”
