Gwen Ifill has responded to outrage that she, the author of a fawning Obama book due for publication on Inauguration Day, will be moderating tonight’s Vice Presidential debate by ignoring the obvious ethical issues involved and playing the race card.

Clearly doing her best to avoid any appearance of impropriety or bias while moderating Thursday night’s Vice Presidential debate between Senator Joe Biden and Governor Sarah Palin, Gwen Ifill is set to release a laudatory Obama-focused book entitled “The Breakthrough: Politics and Race in the Age of Obama” on the next President’s Inauguration Day: January 20, 2009.
Drawing on interviews with power brokers like Senator Obama, former Secretary of State Colin Powell, Vernon Jordan, the Reverend Jesse Jackson, and many others, as well as her own razor-sharp observations and analysis of such issues as generational conflict and the “black enough” conundrum, Ifill shows why this is a pivotal moment in American history.
Why on earth do conservatives keep insisting that the media is wildly biased in favor of Obama? OF COURSE Ifill is going to be equally hard on Biden and Palin during the debate, even if it risks the result of this “pivotal moment in American history,” just to be seen as fair. After all, the media has been nothing if not fair, especially toward Governor Palin. There’s no reason to believe the debate would be conducted in a biased way.
Right.
Besides any liberal bias toward the Obama campaign implicit in publishing a book with his name in the title, Ifill clearly has financial reasons to be pulling for an Obama win and should recuse herself from moderating Thursday’s debate.
Public Service Announcement: Ifill is not “disabled” (I see some people arriving here searching that on Google). She broke her ankle last week falling down the stairs, and that’s why she’s tooling around St. Louis in a wheelchair.
The video below is your impartial debate moderator reacting with contempt and disgust to Governor Palin’s Convention speech.
