Keith Olbermann comments on buzz coming from right-wing media that Gwen Ifill will not be an impartial debate moderator.
�To all the geniuses lead by WorldNetDaily and Michelle Malkin and Greta Van Susteren and the other pea brains like Bill O�Reilly who breathlessly reported last night and this morning and tonight about a farcical conflict of interest with the moderator of the vice presidential debate, Gwen Ifill of PBS, where have you been?� Olbermann asked. �The story broke in July.�
Olbermann added, �I mean, this desperate attempt to pre-blame Palin�s performance tomorrow night on something � anything � is bad enough. In fact, it�s pure racism. But it has this added element of supposed surprise.�
Raw Story has more on the criticism against Ifill, along with liberal concern about Tom Brokaw at this link.
