. one journalist who would tell you like it is on the subject that we just discussed was gwen ifill, but sadly we have lost her voice. the co-anchor of pbs news hour died today from complications of uterine cancer. she was one of the most talented journalists of our time, period. her accomplishments are literally too many to mention. she moderated presidential debates, part of the first female anchor team on nightly news. i first met her at an association of black journalists convention in the mid '90s when i was trying to become anon air reporter. the woman i loved from afar agreed to critique my first demo tape. i hung on to her every word.
