Sometime last night, link factory and cable news talking point shaper Matt Drudge posted a link to an article about Gwen Ifill, the PBS vet and broken legged moderator of tomorrow's VP debate, claiming she was coming out with a pro-Obama book on Inauguration Day. If true, an obvious favoring of Obama could jeopardize Ifill's plans for tomorrow night's session, since moderators are supposed to remain objective; any harsh questions aimed at Palin could then "justly" be labeled by the right wing as unfair and bias.
Except Drudge, to be sure, is not the nonpartisan link factory Fox News would have you believe. So it makes sense that the news outlet he linked to for the story would be the right-wing zealot website WorldNetDaily, a place where, much like Drudge, ordinary news topics get twisted ever so slightly to become slanted in such a way that the reader would be forgiven for realizing he bought into the spin. (For instance, an article about how Americans can relate to Obama is headlined, "Do Americans have anything in common with Obama?" See the twist?)
So is Ifill's book even about Obama? And if it is, is it really pro-Obama? You can take a guess.

OH WAIT! BECAUSE SHE'S BLACK, SHE'S AUTOMATICALLY BIASED AGAINST WHITE REPUBLICUNTS!!!
Why did nobody raise the question about Jim Lehrer being PRO-WHITE for John McCunt?!?!?!?
I FUCKING HATE PEOPLE
Ugh, time to switch up the M.O. Being irrational and excessively dramatic like your right-wing counterparts helps no one.
Gwen Ifill is writing about black politicians. I'm sure if she wrote about women politicians, no one would claim a bias towards Palin. I'm quite sure Jim Leher has written some books as well and no one blames him of being biased. Sorry. She's black so she MUST be biased. If she were a white women, she MUST be biased. According to the media, only heterosexual white men are capable of rational thought.
Sounds like right-wing commentators are trying to make pre-emptive excuses for Palin's inevitable fuck-ups. Again, the question is raised: do they realize they're full of shit, or do they really think they're being fair and objective?
To be fair, John McCain is cool with Gwen doing the debate.
Heck, they should ask just if her sex makes her partial to Palin, too
or, if all the white moderators are partial to McCain since they are white!
they need to shut it!
Isn't it really easy for ANY debate moderator to have a huge bias? It seems to me that her having written a book, pro-Obama or not, isn't much more of a sign of her bias than any other moderator.
To bad she is black. If she was white it would be considered "Jungle Love"
Listen un educated idiots, she has a direct financial tie to the outcome of the election.
Osama (oops) - Obama elected= chicken and beer for months
Mccain elected = end trails for months, which she deserves.
Later…
Alright, Pedrotard, can I just point out some of your grammatical mistakes, which you made while trying to call everyone else here stupid? yeah, I'll do that. First, it's too. Too bad. Next, uneducated should be one word, if you're not a 'tard that is, which you are. Lastly, your brain is not functioning, which is why you came to this site and shared your stupid thoughts with us. We don't need that shit. We need a non-tard for president, got it? So don't vote, you 'tard.
