McWhorter Watch: John McWhorter on Joe Wilson, Jimmy Carter, and the “Racist” Label

Written by twilightandreason on
Manhattan Institute Fellow and Former UC Berkeley Linguistics Professor John McWhorter *** On a recent episode of the NewsHour with Jim Lehrer, John McWhorter illustrated, once again, how curiously complex (a sometimes contradictory) his perspectives on race really are. Many have called McWhorter a Black conservative, but that is not quite an accurate assessment. In fact, McWhorter’s views on race and racism seem largely inspired by his own experience as a highly-educated Black professional from a middle-class background. For McWhorter, as for many other Black people from similar backgrounds (myself included), racism is a very real part of life — sometimes difficult, somtimes disappointing, ... Read Full Story

Tim Russert: Warmly remembered on ‘Meet the Press’

Written by celebmanx on
Tim Russert’s chair was empty on “Meet the Press” on Sunday, two days after his unexpected death. But Russert was very much present on the full-hour tribute to this giant of political journalism who hosted NBC’s public-affairs program for more than 16 years. “His voice has been stilled,” began Tom Brokaw, who led the conversation, “and our issue this sad Sunday morning is remembering and honoring our colleague and our friend ….” Brokaw and a half-dozen others were seated in front of the “Meet the Press” set and its angular table, left vacant, where Russert had presided as recently as last week. Brokaw noted ... Read Full Story

From:   ktracy.com
PBS’s Gwen Ifill will moderate tonight’s Vice Presidential Debate despite controversy over her politically liberal views. For the past few days, there has been a lot of controversy over the moderator of tonight’s Vice Presidential Debate, Gwen Ifill. More specifically, over a book she’s writing titled, “The Age of Obama.” While it’s unknown for sure whether or not Gwen Ifill’s book is a tribute to Obama’s new political brand or this generation of shallow politicians who don’t talk about the issues and the voters who don’t care about the issues, everyone seems to assume that the book will favor Obama. Personally, I found those ... Read Full Story

VP debate moderator releasing Obama-friendly book (Update)

Written by yd2008 on
This recent revelation seen on the Drudge Report and first reported by WorldNetDaily is questionable with regard to political motivations and the fact that the book has been no secret for months now.

The book is not centered on Obama, however, from the description it appears give him favorable praise. You can view the Amazon.com product page here . See updates below, story amended and extended, and somewhat exposed. Whether you’re for Obama or McCain, think of having a pro-McCain ... Read Full Story

Gwen Ifill & Fighting the Smears

Written by buffalopundit on
This may come as a shock to some, but even journalists have personal lives and hold political opinions. Their job is to set those opinions aside and be objective when reporting on an issue. No one has ever impugned Gwen Ifill’s integrity in any serious way, mostly because her most recent position is with the uber-wonky Lehrer Report, which is quite literally the antithesis of the garbage available on the more popular cable news nets. The fact that Gwen Ifill is penning a book about modern-day African-American candidates and politicians is no surprise, as I’m sure PBS doesn’t pay megabucks and Ifill is looking ... Read Full Story
