1. So... you don't get devil's advocate...

Twice...

2. You're baiting.

We don't KNOW that Ifill was doing "devil's advocate".

And besides...these days, with all the compromises already in place, PBS and NPR aren't worth defending anymore anyway. They can't ever have integrity again.

3. LOL. Very poor apologia. IF that were true she should have cited those who have made a clear

statement that the law's jobs affect will be minimal. As to the statement "there isn't an official arbiter".. no real journalist could let that pass without mentioning the obvious ("Uhhh, what's the CBO for?").

That's like standing in the shadow of the Washington monument with somebody and listening to them say: "There JUST is no recognition of George Washington in this city."... and saying nothing.

Don't be ridiculous. Listening to someone (who PBS Newshour has proffered as an expert) saying there is no arbiter, saying there are no sources of impartial judgements on the jobs impact of the Affordable Health Care act and Ifill not correcting that flagrant outrageous LIE..is like being caught in some insane scene from a Marx brothers movie. IFill not correcting the lie is providing tacit confirmation of it.

She is turning tricks for corporate dollars.

THE NEXT TIME PBS CALLS ME FOR MONEY I'M GOING TO TELL THEM: "HAVE'NT YOU GOTTEN ENOUGH IN PAY-OFFS FROM THE CORPORATE LOBBYIST PARTY?"

4. She's not a reporter

She's a tool. Her job is to catapult the propaganda, as the Shrub put it.

5. rather than tolerate the dissimulation I'd rather criticize it.

6. I still have my fingers...
