Gewn Ifill - Conflict of Interest
Biden, Palin set for Oct. 2 VP Debate
Quote:
Sen. Joe Biden from Delaware and Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska, the vice presidential nominees of the Democratic and Republican parties, respectively, will debate each other at 8 p.m. (CDT) Oct. 2 in the Washington University in St. Louis Athletic Complex, according to the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD).
This is the first time the University will host a vice presidential debate. It's the fifth consecutive presidential election that the University has been selected by the CPD, the event's sponsor, to serve as a debate host.
The CPD, a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization established in 1987, is responsible for selecting the venues and producing the presidential debates. The CPD's three 2008 presidential debates locations and dates are: the University of Mississippi in Oxford, Miss., Sept. 26; Belmont University in Nashville, Tenn., Oct. 7; and Hofstra University in Hempstead, N.Y., Oct. 15.
Washington University again is offering the same facilities that were made available for the 1992, 1996, 2000 and 2004 debates. They include the Field House — which is the actual debate site — Francis Gymnasium, the Rec Gym and other areas of the Athletic Complex. Francis Gym and Francis Field were the sites of the 1904 World Olympic Games, the first Olympics played in the Western Hemisphere.
The debate will be moderated by Gwen Ifill, a longtime correspondent and moderator for nationally televised public broadcasting news programs. Ifill, who serves as moderator and managing editor of PBS' "Washington Week" and senior correspondent for "The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer," also moderated the CPD's 2004 vice presidential debate between Vice President Dick Cheney and Sen. John Edwards, held Oct. 5 at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland.

Let's all take a look at this "Gwen Ifill" and her most recent book... 
Quote:
The Breakthrough - Politics and Race in the Age of Obama
In THE BREAKTHROUGH, veteran journalist Gwen Ifill surveys the American political landscape, shedding new light on the impact of Barack Obama’s stunning presidential campaign and introducing the emerging young African American politicians forging a bold new path to political power.

How nice...
The sale of her book is dependant directly upon Obama winning the election, and she gets to moderate the vice presidential debate... 
Don't believe me?...Check out the date of the release of the book...
But that's OK...It's not like she ever reported on Obama's personal life with an in-depth interview with him or anything... 
THE OBAMA FAMILY:A FAMILY OF ESSENCE
Quote:
|
“For one year we tried to get the entire Obama family on our cover. The protective mother and father were always reluctant and said no. Finally, we got yes and ESSENCE became the only Black publication allowed a glimpse into the Obamas’ spacious Chicago home. In this collector’s edition that hits newsstands now, just before the Democratic National Convention in Denver, ESSENCE captures Michelle, Barack and their two daughters[Malia,10, and Sasha,7] at home. And veteran journalist Gwen Ifill catches up with the Obamas on the road, where they discuss family life, criticism of Michelle, and reaction to Barack’s controversial comments about Black men.”
