phony question = BS answer...

re: Ifill's BS answer about Beltway journalism... it should be noted that VastLeft's original question was a lot more specific and incisive than that pap that the moderator here presented to Ifill... here is the original question..

"The media all-but-unanimously pronounced Colin Powell’s fact-challenged Feb. 2003 UN presentation “compelling.”

As a direct result, the public supported a disastrous and unnecessary war.

What has changed in Beltway reporting as a result of this deadly fiasco?"

Now, compare that to the "many people think..." question that Ifill was allowed to answer.

You want to know why Beltway journalism is so corrupt -- its because people like Ifill are protected from addressing real questions....
