5. Gwen Ifill is a status quo Beltway type

I'll never forget how she commented on a few shows, particularly MTP, that Fahrenheit 9/11 was innaccurate. She totally dismissed it and said something like "There are things in it, as a journalist, I KNOW are just WRONG!" She was exasperated and condescending, and not once did she point out what was wrong about it, or what was inaccurate. She never even tried to prove anything, she just clucked around disapprovingly like a tool. Ever since then, I try not to put much into her weak abilities as a journalist. She's ok, but she's in her position because she doesn't rock the boat too much or stray too far out of conventional wisdom. Give her 15-20 years, she'll be exactly what Cokie Roberts is right now.
