RIP Gwen Ifill

David Brooks is eulogizing the wonderful late Gwen Ifill today and I'm really not interested in criticizing him on this. In fact partial praise for one confessional sentence:

She worked doggedly on her programs, and whenever I did anything that diminished the “NewsHour” she let me know directly.

Sounds like it happened fairly often, and makes me respect and miss Ifill even more.
