Debate Bias

When you are watching the Vice-Presidential debate between Senator Biden and Gov. Palin on Thursday night, keep in mind that the moderator of the debate, the person who writes and asks the questions, has a personal financial interest in an Obama victory in the election.

PBS anchor Gwen Ifill, the scheduled moderator for this debate, has written a book entitled Breakthrough: Politics and Race in the age of Obama, which comes out in January - on Inauguration Day. Do you think her book will sell better if Barack Obama is inaugurated as President in January? Do you think she will make more money on her book if Obama/Biden win the election? Do you think she should have disclosed this and recused herself from moderating this debate due to perceived conflict of interest?

As I noted yesterday, media bias has moved far beyond perception, beyond just being an obvious double standard, to become blatant and open cheer-leading for one side. The American people deserve far better.
