Having Ifill moderate the debate would be like Alan Dershowitz serving as a juror in OJ Simpson’s murder trial. Journalism is truly dead in Amerca. Although, at Columbia this is probably being spun as a good thing. Kind of like jury nullification, they could call it “journalisitc nullification”. Truly sickening.
“Some have even said because the PBS/Ifill conflict of interest has been exposed, Ms. Ifill will lean over backward to be fair to Gov. Sarah Palin. That illustrates the reason why conflicts of interest should be avoided. A moderator should not be leaning backward or forward. A moderator should be in the middle. Unfortunately, the mainstream media, along with PBS and Ms. Ifill, are leaning. They are leaning left and they are leaning toward Mr. Obama. In fact, they are leaning over so far, they have fallen over just as their journalistic principles have been falling.”
Excellent and accurate.
