Video cross-posted here at NewsBusters. Appearing on NBC’s Meet the Press Sunday, PBS NewsHour co-anchor Gwen Ifill acted as a Democratic Party spokesperson when she hit Ben Carson for accusing the media of having a double standard in obsessing over his personal biography. Ifill dismissed Carson’s claim that no other presidential candidate has received the kind of scrutiny as he has and proclaimed “[t]he interesting thing about the outsiders we talk about so much is that they all seem surprised what it takes to run for president. And what it takes to run for president is scrutiny. When Dr. Carson says there has never been scrutiny like there has been directed at him, that's just not so.”
