PBS
Thursday night, Gwen Ifill is scheduled to be the moderator at the VP debate. Last night, concerned citizens on the Internet and Greta Van Susteren of Fox News broke the story about a conflict of interest concerning Ms. Ifill as a moderator for this debate.
Ms. Ifill has a book coming out that currently has TWO TITLES:
The title on her PBS Website is The Breakthrough: Politics in the Age of Obama
http://www.pbs.org/weta/washingtonweek/gwen/
OOPS! Gwen Ifill apparently read my post on RealClearPolitics.com today -- so she "fixed" her Webpage. Here is a PDF containing the cached copy from Google, showing how the book title appeared until this morning:
http://64.37.107.199/ifill_tower/20080924_ifill_webpage_before.pdf
The title on Amazon.com is The Breakthrough: Politics And Race in the Age of Obama
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/038552501X/
Why try to hide it? A pig with lipstick is still a pig. This is just another Winky-Wink where someone is trying to do something that is not about race, when in fact, it is.
Although the book was not a secret, Ms. Ifill and/or the debate committee did not inform John McCain's campaign of the book. As of this writing, Ms. Ifill and the debate committee have not returned calls from Fox News or anyone else that I am aware of.
Ms. Ifill stands to make a lot more money from her book if Obama is elected, a book which is scheduled to be published on Inauguration Day (see Amazon.com link above). This is an obvious conflict of interest.
This is not good news for either V.P. or Presidential candidate, the moderator, the two parties, the public, the debate committee or anyone. Ms. Ifill should recuse herself, heck she can blame it on her recent broken ankle injury, and the debate committee should take responsibility for handling this properly.
By the way, if you are still thinking Ms. Ifill can handle this without bias, take another look. Ms. Ifill also gave her opinion on Gov. Palin's speech at the GOP Convention and on Gov. Palin in another interview - here are the videos:

This is about as unbiased as it gets with media these days -- except for Greta Van Susteren. Thank you Greta for listening to our concerns and reporting this story! I am not a party member, but yours is now the news show I will watch.

Where your tax money goes - to Liberal BS PBS
(August, 2008)
Clean up the 20% garbage at the PBS! Do not mix them with the majority of 'good programming', the "news" and current "editorial" parts are totally unprofessional!
The PBS & NPR problem of having one sided biased agenda whenever reporting or editorializing news and current
events.
PBS says it's "independent", Huh?
PBS has a banner about 'Vote 2008' that describes itself as
"independent".
TIMING:
Can anyone come up with an explanation why the next 2 "documentaries" had
to be aired just so close to the elections?
1) Last weekend [beginning of August 2008], liberal Bill Moyers was busy in
his [Frontline] program on Reed's scandalous past (with Abramov), where at the
end of it he makes sure to finish off with a "warning" line that : Jack Reed is
sponsoring a John Mccain weekend, Is that an important of the 'Frontline'
"objective" documentary? or is it blatant anti-Mccain propaganda?
2) After above Bill Moyers 'Frontline' PBS had another anti Republican
bombshell, a film called "Bush's War", I couldn't see all of it but at least two
comments:A: Each time there's a difference of opinion and two sides of the
coins are being brought up, the narrator "picks" the one he chooses to be the
"decisive" line.B: When he comes to the pivotal points in the Iraq violence
he chooses the words: "resistance", never the suitable 'terrorists' (or
other) term of thugs' crimes against humanity, that are targeting unarmed men,
women & children, this attempt to make these low life criminals look like
some "political" movements, is not only dis-reporting but despicable effort of
butchers'-ass-licking, of the lowest of its kind.
Again, you can't help but wonder why these damning films where
aired so soon to the elections if not the obvious to make people nauseous
of the Republican party.
THE SPIN ABOUT OIL
On Sunday [August 10, 2008] the same Bill Moyers on his 'Frontline' he made
the issue brought up by Newsweek about the 'poverty business', the phenomenon
that people find to make money of off poverty and off the poor.A great
matter and case you might say, yes, until he starts to project his left bias, as
he has his guests over that start complaining about [the Democrats and] Obama's
failure in the economy, Bill Moyers tries to shift the atmosphere to bash Mccain
instead, after making sure the guests are brought to the wind of
anti-Republicans he (feels assured enough so) he then shows a clip (by Foxnews)
of Newt Gingrich that he projects that within announcement of drilling (Drill
here, drill now) the gas prices will automatically fall, as speculators of the
oil stocks would be effected by it.
[Immediately, there's a banner on the bottom with the words
"The oil drilling debate", How did the case against making profiting off of
poverty get altered?]
Bill asks the guest Dean Baker (of "CEPR") if
that's true, Mr. Becker answers that the projective oil we will be able to "get"
is small, whether this is accurate or not is not the issue but, still he hasn't
answered the point raised by Mr. Gingrich which is that psychologically, the gas
price will fall down as soon as news of drilling gets the 'go ahead'.
http://www.pbs.org/moyers/journal/08082008/transcript3.html
Of course one sided Bill Moyers didn't repeat and refocused the question,
he doesn't want to hear the true answer, much less, he doesn't want the American
people to hear the truth, that's PBS - BS for you.
Truth is that gas prices already started to go down because of Mccain
pro-drilling and influencing Obama to agree partially to it.
The truth is that the control of our money to PBS by one small group [when
it comes to "news" and "editorials", too bad they mix it in
with good programming, that makes it all even more venomous] of radical
lefty "intellectuals" has been so unfair and so unjust for far too
long.
