PBS's Gwen Ifill Defends Eric Holder, IRS Despite Online
Backlash  Here's an interesting example of your tax dollars at
work: Gwen Ifill, a newscaster for the Public Broadcasting
System, uses her television programs to staunchly defend Eric
Holder, the scandal-ridden U.S. attorney general, and the
Internal Revenue System, which has been accused of targeting
conservative organizations that apply for a tax-exempt status.
Not content with using her roles as managing editor and
moderator of the “Washington Week” program and as a senior
correspondent for the “PBS NewsHour,” Ifill took her crusade
online on Sunday, when she posted on Twitter that it's “Fun to
see the same (named & unnamed) folks calling for Holder
resignation who always have” and asserted that “people don't
want to know the details back and forth” of the IRS targeting.
While @Matthops82 said that “the House needs to forget about the
scandals and pass immigration reform,” it was all downhill from
there for Ifill.  It didn't take long for @JayCarus
