Gwen Ifill is partisan by birth. She's black. And -- to make things worse -- she's educated, smart, and pretty. Hence, she is perceived by the right-wingers as the most extreme member of PBS' News Hour group, no matter how much she might try to seem otherwise.
Among the regular correspondents, Kwame Holman (and to a lesser extent Fred Sam Lazaro, who covers health care) has to bend over backwards to avoid looking partisan. Holman covers Capitol Hill and -- sin of sins -- he's black and male. His reports have to sound and look extremely "neutral" or else. _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
