GWEN IFILL'S RACIAL BIAS AGAINST GEORGE ZIMMERMAN


Gwen Ifill has been phoning it in for years on her weekly political program on PBS. But, she also shows a genuine racial bias when reporting on the PBS Newshour.

"After media organizations were called out for initially--and falsely--"reporting" that George Zimmerman was white--Zimmerman is half-Hispanic and identifies as a Hispanic--the mainstream media started to refer to Zimmerman as a "white Hispanic," even though that term has rarely been used to describe people who are partly of Hispanic descent.
On Monday's broadcast of PBS's "Newshour," Gwen Ifill simply--and dishonestly--referred to Zimmerman as "white," trying to impose the false media narrative that Zimmerman was a "white" guy who racially profiled and shot an innocent black teenager in cold blood." - Big Journalism

I guess her bias runs so deep she did not think anyone would notice anything wrong with her dishonest reporting of Zimmerman's race.
