Washington Post "I'm in great demand," says PBS correspondent
Gwen Ifill, "but I'm not speaking for the whole race. My job is to be a reporter. I cannot be the great interpreter. It's not my job to be on someone else's air telling them what black people think." She tells
Howard Kurtz that a white TV reporter asked her after
Barack Obama accepted the nomination in Denver: "Aren't you just blown away by all of this?" She said she wasn't. "Aren't you in the tank?" the reporter wondered.
