Moderating the debate immoderately?

Jim Lehrer did a pretty good job as moderator of this year's first presidential debate, but PBS anchor Gwen Ifill can't be counted on to be as fair with the vice-presidential candidates, writes Michelle Malkin, because she has a pro-Obama book coming out on Inauguration Day:

Ifill and her publisher are banking on an Obama-Biden win to buoy her book sales. The moderator expected to treat both sides fairly has grandiosely declared this the "Age of Obama." Can you imagine a right-leaning journalist writing a book about the "stunning" McCain campaign and its "bold" path to reform timed for release on Inauguration Day — and then expecting a slot as a moderator for the nation's sole vice presidential debate?
