She has yet to write the chapter on Obama, Ifill said, and she wondered why anyone would assume the book will be favorable to Obama.

"Do you think they made the same assumptions about Lou Cannon when he wrote his book about Reagan?" asked Ifill, host of PBS' "Washington Week" and senior correspondent on "The NewsHour."

1. Lou Cannon didn't moderate a VP debate while he was writing a book and neglected to tell the Debate Commission about it.

2. Lou Cannon didn't write a book entitled "Politics and Race in the Age of Reagan".

Sorry, but Ifill's comments are nothing short of disingenuous.

“Do you think they made the same assumptions about Lou Cannon when he wrote his book about Reagan?” asked Ifill, host of PBS’ “Washington Week” and senior correspondent on “The NewsHour.”

Ifill’s “they” is the Republican party or conservatives who she is clearly accusing of being prejudiced
because they apply a different standard to white authors and black authors.

In other words, how dare those racists question my fairness.
