Anybody remember the 2004 Debates?

Gwen Ifill was "in the tank" for Bush/Cheney.

Hopefully people out there better than I can search the "youtubes" for relevant footage, but follow me below as we dive into some of the diaries from October 2004 (and before -- she also covered the Democratic Convention very unprofessionally).

Here are some diaries from 2004:

•Gwen Ifill did a disservice to America by dcg

•Gwen Ifill, tool by Steve in Sacto(look at the question of Ifill's that he brings up.)

•When did Gwen Ifill become "fair and balanced" by pontificator(referring to Ifill's friendly name dropping of Condi Rice)

•Wow -- Gwen Ifill is such a pro-Bush mouthpiece! by pontificator
(barely a diary, but comments on Ifill's Meet the Press performance.)

•Gwen Ifill : the most talentless hack of them all by Alphakafka(questionable journalist integrity)

•The VP Debate: Awful Ifill by dc310("loaded" questions to Edwards, softball questions to Cheney)

•Dick Flip-flop on Mary by lectric(Ifill lets Cheney get away with major posturing on his gay daughter, at odds with Bush)

•Seven Lies Cheney Told During the Debate by Eric J in MN(And you call Ifill a Moderator when Cheney can lie his •ss off in a debate?)

•Kos' reaction and his favorite moments from the VP debate.

•PBS & Gwen Ifill Smackdown Last Night by LeislerNYC
(re: her tasteless joke about 2000 election in Florida at DNC)

•Contact PBS Newshour for Distorting Kerry's Position by LeislerNYC
(Partisan distortion of Kerry's position re terrorism)

Cheney got away with telling a big whopper about never having met Edwards. Never mind the three times that they did (the swearing in of Liddy Dole, offstage at Meet the Press, and a prayer breakfast).

This ~~interview~~/debate will be a joke. I expect Biden to be prepared for both Palin AND Ifill. Because he's the one not getting the softball questions.

Oh, one more humorous thing:

You're on to something ! (2+ / 0-)

Rearrange the letters in Gwen Ifill's name and you ACTUALLY get this :

GW Lifelin[e]

Get your Democracy Bond and help build a 50-state Democratic Party!

UPDATE
DEQ54 has a counterargument. Worth the read. I disagree, but this is one time I'd like to be proved wrong.
