Gwen Ifill doubles down on defense of David Chalian

http://twitter.com/#!/pbsgwen/status/240905054759038977

PBS’s Gwen Ifill has had a busy day, not only defending David Chalian over his comment that the GOP is “happy to have a party while black people drown” but also calling the ex-Yahoo News bureau chief “God’s gift to political journalism.” Now Ifill has a reading assignment for her “new Twitter detractors.”

“Unbiased” journalist Ifill tweets a link to a National Journal article by editor Ron Fournier with the patently biased title, “Why (and How) Romney Is Playing the Race Card.” Fournier’s proof? A breakfast conversation with a Detroit firefighter and a contractor who helpfully translate Romney’s “code” — “the subtle language of distrust and prejudice that whites use to communicate deep-set fears.”

@pbsgwen Would you please send me a list of words I'm allowed to say?

why doesn't @pbsgwen just get it over with and put Obama2012 in her bio already?

.@pbsgwen @ron_fournier A prominent liberal journalist jokes about black people drowning and that somehow makes Romney racist? #facepalm

We believe this is what “real journalists” call a follow-up question, and it’s worth answering. Does this “good read” prove that Chalian was right about the GOP being happy about people drowning?

.@ExJon @Hmm…seems like pbsgwen is saying Chalian was right to assume RNC is racist. Is that it, Gwen?

@pbsgwen You defend your friend who said Romney was "happy to party while black people drown." And ROMNEY is playing the race card?

@pbsgwen Thanks. Had ignorantly mistaken you for a serious journalist, but this clears things up.

Note: digging a deeper hole for yourself is not the kind of “shovel-ready job” anyone had in mind.
