Biden-Palin Debate Scandal: Gwen Ifill in the Tank, Gotcha Journalism on Deck?

Oct 1, 2008

Is the Biden-Palin Debate fixed? Host Gwen Ifill has a financial stake in the race for president as she has a pro-Obama book ready to hit shelves after the election. So where will she be this week? She will be practicing gotcha journalism on Sarah Palin as she is the moderator of the Biden-Palin debate that will be held Thursday in St. Louis.

Matt Drudge has exposed the sneaky move by Ifill and by extension the Obama camp. Ifill would love you to make her richer by buying a book she is working on that will be titled, "The Breakthrough: Politics and Race in the Age of Obama." That book will sell a whole lot more copies if Obama wins on November 4. Ifill has a financial interest in helping Barack Obama win and now she has the position as well.

The heavily biased moderator that is obviously cheering for an Obama victory was caught "snarling about Palin's nomination speech," in a YouTube video. "She belittled...Barack Obama." Her biggest praise for Palin - "She delivered her speech word for word." This is absolutely wrong and even though most journalists are liberal Democrats Ifill actually has a financial stake in the election.

One commentator describes it the scandal way, "This isn't so much about the historical perspective of black political figures but rather a biased approach towards one candidate. It's clearly illustrated in the title "...the age of Obama." This debate is fixed, the Debates Commission has failed and should remove her immediately.
