About Gwen "Take That, Bibi" Ifill

Well, I’ve said it a million times:
The anchorman of CBS News should attend Democratic fundraisers (as happened).
The Supreme Court reporter of the New York Times, a.k.a. the paper of record, should march in abortion-rights rallies (as happened).
And PBS news figures should be open partisans.
Yesterday, when Senator Barbara Mikulski declared for the Iran deal, meaning that this deal could not be blocked by the Senate, Gwen Ifill spiked the football. “Take that, Bibi,” she tweeted.
Aha! Good one, Gwen!
The PBS ombudsman has written about this matter disapprovingly. I’m not sure I disapprove.
What I disapprove of is pretending — the pretending that these news organizations are neutral and dispassionate, instead of on the left.
P.S. If those statesmanlike mullahs in Tehran land one on Israel, will our Left say, “Take that, Bibi”?

She was a joke in the News Room as a reporter at the Boston Record American (Boston Herald) but somehow seemed to manage to climb up the ladder. Why do you suppose that is?

PBS and NPR - two sides of the same sheet of Charmin. With both sides "used". (Gotta conserve those rainforests!)

It’s becoming clear Ifill and Jarrett share upbringings.

She's allowed to be bias. It's a part of being a liberal and black in the media! Your race card is a passage to be immune to accusations of conflict of interest and being bias!

Gwen Ifill - another affirmative action “success story”.

If those statesmanlike mullahs in Tehran land one on Israel, will our Left say, “Take that, Bibi”? They'll issue a statement applauding the financial restraint of the Mullahs for not spending the money to build ovens.

As a student of history, I am literally amazed on how anti-semitism repeatly and routinely rear its ugly head again and again. It proves to me that the Bible is God-inspired and that this world like this ‘broadcaster’ are enemies of God.

About Gwen "Take That, Bibi" IfillI was so tempted to react with a brief retort about this event, with reference to the genus pongo borneo, but I decided not to, because I don't need my Freeper account suspended...
