NOT LOVING IFILL.

Obviously, Gwen Ifill's biggest problem is not bias, but really bad questions.

"Which is worse? A nuclear Iran or an unstable Pakistan?" I'm paraphrasing, but that question is roughly equivalent to "would you rather be stabbed or shot?"

--A. Serwer



COMMENTS

Ifill was awful, all around awful: lame questions ("isn't tax increases for incomes over 250,000 a class warfare?"), no follow-up. I still cannot get over the fact that she let Palin claim that she supports equal rights for gay couples and, even more egregiously, did not ask why Palin likes so much Dick Cheney's take on vice presidential power. Truly pathetic.

Maybe PBS should give up on the Affirmative Action thing after all.
