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.

Stress And The Brain: JaimeTartar at TEDxNSU

Jaime Tartar tells us about how the brain interprets what is stressful, how it determines our behavioral and physiological response to stressors, and how it can be damaged by stress. She will discuss how the body’s reaction to acute stress has protective and adaptive effects in the short run while chronic stress can lead to poor health consequences such as decreased memory performance and depression. Tartar is an Associate Professor of Psychology at Nova Southeastern University. In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
