Who's Gwen Ifill, pops?
She moderated an Obama-Romney debate!
Just before her book, "Politics and Race in the Age of Obama", was released!
This was somehow not a conflict of interest!
I'm honestly not certain I grasp that issue? I guess.... was she supposed to hide her opinions by writing about a past president whilst clearly commenting on a current administration, as is the tradition?
Either way I think you can safely assume the complete dissolution of journalism as a profession is taking care of any sort of knock-down you are hoping to see her undergo.
Just left hiring reception. That is a weird name for it though. Really, it was an attempt to convince students we already offered employment as interns next summer to choose to come be interns for us next year, so that we can pay them $10s of thousands to eat free lunches and do no work. And a lot of them will say no to this offer.
Your interns make tens if thousands of dollars?
These punk ass kids are turning down paid internships?
Down with this sort of thing
Law interns
Given the number of law students competing for spots, generally the most elite and/or well connected law students who are offered softball and lucrative programs to get them on board before being subject to the crushing workload of an associate

Exactly right. It's this really bizzare hiring practice that is based on the prestige of your law school more than anything else, and which prevents firms from filling their staffing needs a adequately because they need to plan 2 years out for when the entry level employees show up. And then by 4th year, 80% of them will have left!

it is hard to argue that you are fairly moderating a debate that will in part determine whether there is an "age of Obama" at all, as opposed to a one-and-done Presidency, when you are about to release a book discussing said Age of Obama.
its more convincing to point at specific questions in the debate you thought were unfair than just pointing out that someone is supportive (I mean, I'm assuming the book is positive) of Obama and thus must have been a bad debate host

can you point out any instances during the debate in which you feel she attempted to ensure an "age of Obama"?
Well at one point she literally said "Romney is a Nazi sympathizer" but with kinda inflection at the end so it was hard to tell whether or not it was a question

I feel like one term or not the first black president probably justifies a book of that title.
Also I don't rember her moderating a debate in 2012

I disagree - I feel like you're reading the book title and just seeing OBAMA when I would argue the title is referring to the larger conversation about race and politics in an era where a black man was elected president. The other forty-odd presidents were white.

(i assume the complaint is motivated by the fact that it's 'public' news but the fox news r-primary debate had a bunch of presumably sympathetic journalists who asked pretty good questions and didn't let candidates off the hook for their nonsense, so I don't think it's a given that being biased -> bad debate host)

going from a job you like and are good at, making a thing you love, with people who are passionate about that thing, where you're empowered to do what's necessary to accomplish your goals
then going back to real work where you work for a joke of a company, with people that don't give a shit, on projects that don't seem to matter, for a boss who is roundly incompetent, and every move you make is drowned in bureaucracy and people upset that you're getting into their silos

Step 1: Insult literally half of the country
Step 2: Convince them to vote for me
Yeah I mean, is anyone really of the opinion that he didn't lose the election entirely on his own merits?
If there was a liberal conspiracy, what did it accomplish that Romney didn't by simply opening his mouth and giving us binders full of women, corporations are people my friend, and 47% of Americans are free-loaders who don't count?

you are getting unreasonably defensive. I'd agree that the tweet wasn't a great idea for a public news journalist, but to call her blatantly left wing partisan based off of that is ridiculous, so you have to make the case. . .
you're kidding yourself if you think there's any choice between journalists other than "those who are open about their opinions" and "those who are lying to you about not having opinions"
but I'd fully support having presidential debates moderated by foreign journalists to get a bit more impartiality into them
British journalists, say
actually hold the candidates to answering the questions asked
none of this Gwen Ifil let them get away with murder crap

It has come to my attention that there is an American tennis player named Jack Sock.
It must have been pretty rough growing up with a name that sounds like something a 14-year-old boy keeps under the mattress next to a worn-out copy of Hustler.

I was only confused because I know both the P in both stands for "Public" and I was like "Maybe ... maybe they're related and I just don't know it.
Maybe I just won't say anything."
