PBS Anchor Gwen Ifill Touts Pro-Obama Polls, Dismisses Mideast Violence As a 'Dust Up'
NewsBusters ^

Posted on 09/20/2012 8:39:23 PM PDT by chessplayer

On last night’s broadcast of the PBS Newshour, anchor Gwen Ifill discussed the latest polls with Pew’s Andrew Kohut and Mark Blumenthal, "senior polling analyst" of The Huffington Post. Her talk about voter engagement and enthusiasm got a little hazy – if not completely insensitive – when she referred to last week’s embassy attacks as a “dust up.”

Perhaps "dust up" in her mind only refers to the liberal media's insular discussions about foreign-policy developments, but could she sound more cavalier about the deaths of Americans in Libya?

Sure she is. Like her hero, she’s been affirmative action’d her life. She doesn’t have a clue about the real world.

Gwen Ifill has been around almost as long as the Eiffel Tower. Why must I, the taxpayer, subsidize her when the country is broke. She is a partisan hack.

She almost seems to have been brainwashed. Once a upon time, she was not this bad. People as her look at situations entirety different that most of us do; so they think they are coming to a careful analysis more intelligently.

Being in the Middle East she could at least have said "sand storm."

What a callous, insensitive, brainwashed creature she is. Obviously her brain needs a "dust up" to clear out the cobwebs and Obamafog.
