9/20/12, "PBS Anchor Gwen Ifill Touts Pro-Obama Polls, Dismisses Mideast Violence As a 'Dust Up'," NewsBusters, Matt Vespa
"On last night’s broadcast
(Sept. 19) of the PBS Newshour, anchor Gwen Ifill discussed the latest polls with
Pew’s Andrew Kohut and Mark Blumenthal, "senior polling analyst" of The
Huffington Post. Her talk about voter engagement and enthusiasm got a
little hazy – if not completely insensitive – when she referred to last
week’s embassy attacks as a “dust up.”
Perhaps "dust up" in her mind only refers to the liberal media's
insular discussions about foreign-policy developments, but could she
sound more cavalier about the deaths of Americans in Libya? (video at link)
GWEN IFILL: "Do these polls tell us anything about what people -- how people view either of these two as a leader?
After all, we're voting for the commander in chief. Last week, we had
this dust-up about foreign policy. And, in fact, it continued into this
week.
Is there anything that you're seeing in these numbers that shows that
people look at these two and they can imagine one as president and not
the other?"...
Apparently, the polls
are a much more important subject than
investigating how an American ambassador, Chris Stevens, was
assassinated, since there was no Libya segment on Wednesday night."...
