Ifill on Trial Tomorrow Night

by Janet Crain

Gwen Ifill will be on the trial of her life tomorrow night. If she can do her job and act as a fair and impartial moderator, it will make her career.

If on the other hand, she cannot, it will probably do more damage than can be offset by the anticipated sales from her upcoming book about Obama, scheduled for release in conjunction with the Presidential Inauguration. Should McCain win, the salability of her book will be greatly diminished.

Some are already crying "foul" due to her neglecting to disclose this conflict of interest.

There is a controversy as to whether Ifill can be a neutral moderator when her new pro-Obama book, The Breakthrough: Politics and Race in the Age of Obama, will be released on January 20, 2009, the date of what she has already concluded will be Obama's presidential inauguration.
