Gwen Ifill VP Debate Mod Criticized Unnecessarily

Because she plans to release a ‘pro-Obama’ book on inauguration day, many conservatives are claiming that Gwen Ifill is not the right choice for moderator of the Vice Presidential Debate tonight.  Having a financial stake in the outcome of the election is assumed sufficient motivation to jeopardize a clean journalistic record and successful career.

Journalistic standards of ‘objectivity’ are absurd, for without context, knowledge cannot be communicated in a meaningful way.  No journalist is unbiased and people appreciate bias as long as it is disclosed.  Although they claim to be ‘fair and balanced’, Fox News is so popular because there is no confusion over what and whom they represent.  But since there is such ludicrous emphasis on impartiality, Gwen Ifill will likely over compensate her critical questions toward those whom she personally supports to quell critics’ concerns.
