Gwen Ifill Stands Up for Fired David Chalian: ‘God’s Gift to Political Journalism’
newsbusters.org ^ | 8-29-2012 | Matthew Sheffield

Notorious PBS liberal Gwen Ifill took to Twitter to defend David Chalian, the former Yahoo Washington bureau chief who was fired for claiming that Mitt and Ann Romney are "happy to have a party with black people drowning," claiming that he was unjustly fired. Her defense was markedly over-the-top:

"One mistake does not change this. @DavidChalian is God's gift to political journalism. #IStandwithDavid"

One wonders if the always liberal Ifill would have said a conservative journalist who had been fired was "God's gift to political journalism."

Actually one really doesn't.

Hat tip: Clay Waters.

Incidentally, Ifill is said to have been "livid" over not being allowed to moderate a presidential debate this year. Whether or not her well-known knee-jerk liberal viewpoints prevented her from getting a moderator spot is unknown. Surely stupid comments like this one won't help her get future ones.

Frankly, I'm surprised she could see to text with her lips so firmly planted on Chalian's backside.

"Practice makes perfect" I suppose.

Gwen obviously agrees. So much for fair and balanced.

De-fund PBS by February, 2013! January should be busy revoking Obama's mischief. February and March: bloated bureaucrats and their agencies (and other March hares) hunting season. April: pop the IRS's balloon re Obamacare. And so forth and so on.

Gwen Ifil is a no-talent hack who got a job on PBS/NPR government media for one reason and one reason only.

Large ass?

Bad hair?

Large BLACK ass? (Well somebody had to say it!)

Every time some one says "African-American" they fall into the liberal semantic trap of dividing America. Just refer to people as Americans. Good Americans are Conservative. Evil Americans are liberals.

They are making asses out of their entire race every day and decent black families should be outraged. Frankly, it is not too late for these crybabies to become American-Africans. See how that works out for them.

(”One mistake does not change this)

So Ifill lies to cover for another liberal ass wad.
What Chalian said was not a mistake. It was his actual belief.
