Gwen Ifill is one of the most partisan Dem-water-carrying NPR hacks in the field of “journalism,” and I use the term very loosely.
Via Newsbusters.
On Wednesday, Columbia University’s Journalism School announced that liberal PBS NewsHour anchor Gwen Ifill would be the recipient of the graduate program’s 2016 John Chancellor Award. The school’s dean, Steve Coll, laughably justified honoring Ifill for “her unflinching pursuit of the truth, healthy skepticism of those in power and her commitment to fairness.”….
In reality, Ifill has a long history of liberal bias throughout her career at PBS. On numerous occasions she has been scolded by the network’s ombudsman for openly displaying her partisan political views….
Despite such repeated offenses, Ifill still gets applauded by her liberal media colleagues for her “fairness.”
