Ifill-mania

Marc, level-headed as always:

Covering this as a "Republicans worry that" versus "media defends" story isn't intellectually honest. Republicans aren't actually worrying. They're pretending to worry in order to divert attention from the content of tomorrow night's debate. 

The proper response of Ifill's friends should be eye-rolling, not defensive-crouching, as if the latter just feeds the conflict even more.
