    A PBS reporter on the News Hour. A person who loved to ask the questions which needed
    to be asked & answered.......always looking for the truth. She will be sorely missed.

    ...^^^

    "rare, honest, and a true journalist". Gwen was a beacon of hope in journalism, especially when measured by other prime stations garbage called news. Gwen did something few do; ie providing the essentials, or- the 5 W's, and one How....

    Cancer is a horrible way to go.

    That said PBS, and NPR, both contribute to the national cancer of liberalism. I say cancer because these are also silent killers that mask their identity until it's too late.

    ...I have no idea what relevance PBS's slant towards the right or left has to do with the loss of Gwen Ifill.

    hold it a sec Totus45, are you saying both: liberalism is noted as- "these" being a killer; and/or- "they're" -or- "their/there" are "other" silent killers; metaphors included?

    If "other" (non-metaphorical); what is other***??? Skeleton's in a closet, or dirty deeds by "other" affiliated party members? I get the silent killer cancer, being unbridled liberalism, from Riots in most major cities. Black lives matter, another libtard agenda, which could spark a race war.

    When One finds victory, another finds defeat. When one finds defeat, over bearing, and has not planned for a post election reality bite. Losing becomes anger, anger becomes rage; rage a riot. The lines b/t radicalists of any nature, become one and the same from: Jihadist, Racial Divide of "Black Lives Matter"; including national attacks on Law Enforcement. Lines become blurred by angry protestors who cannot see as if their world were fueled by tear gas.

    Smog Checks already mandatory, but not for livestock, Longhorn and Brahma Flatulence's.

    ***its the Hogs, who are to blame for silent killers, ie cardio.... Hogs like Kankles; and Harry Reid. Reid's "Outgoing" exit can't come soon enough. His tea party this morning reminds us all why the Senate has been broken; as has the libtard left of his jock strap supporters.

    Reid's tea party in the Senate, is nothing different than: having a nice Formal Dinner at the Waldorf Astoria, and finding the previous patron shit on the plush carpet and drapes.....

    fk this-

    "Several participants noted that Trump had an opportunity to work with Democrats on issues like infrastructure, but stressed that they would not back down on issues related to civil rights and equality."

    this nation has forgotten what real equality was and should be: It is never seperate rights, as they believe, and got.

    There can be no all white only university's, just ask the late Gov. Wallace. So why can Grambling, Southern be all black only. The blacks in this country never lost properties, let alone Genocide like our Native American friends/brothers/sisters. The Black race could not of existed, had they of chose to resist Union Forces. Today's typical black man in society at what appears too high a rate of the overall populace- (from what I see of Ca., a microcosm of the US???) -of such men: un-educatable, unteachable, unemployable....

    In Ca., with the normal consensus of black welfare recipients, from a long line of generations prior; also dead beat dads, most without a high school diploma, along with a Felony record. The Single parent welfare state, of women becoming baby factories, to keep getting WIC, and other govt. cheese and $$$ handouts. One baby becomes a teen, drops off the WIC; another baby is born.

    One illegal makes Ca. home, an entire family village moves into the neighborhood. One foreclosed home, ("a failure in a prime lender time"), after another goes into Section 8, and like the rats over infestation of Compton, Pacoima, Watts, over populates Northern L.A. County. From a small sleepy Aerospace Community, to L.A.'s newest Barrio.....

    Build the Moat, fill it with imported Queensland Crocs, build it, from Playa Bagdad/Brownsville to San Diego.

    I find nothing honest about any 'journalism' produced in the history of PBS during my lifetime.

    ...Jesus Christ, wtf is wrong with you?...this thread is about the death of a very highly respected journalist but you've managed to turn it into something else entirely, something political, and for what reason I have no idea...kudos.

    The News-Hour with Jim Lehrer; on PBS, was IMO, the best overall News, without sectarian affiliations...!

    no offense gentlemen, but all the recent leaks have exposed the media and their left advocate agendas. to use their own phrase "the science is settled."

    what ever you thought or felt was fair & balanced...was not. and to pre-empt ron's republican bashing, this also applies to Fox and AM talk radio which advocates for the right.

    we have long since had a media that reported straight news and facts. and it this post-fact era, the truth very obviously means nothing anyway.


    You are either in the camp for liberty and freedom, or you are for a socialized nanny state. there is no middle ground anymore.
