You can put PBS’ Gwen Ifill in the group of those on the Left defending Holder. She is not happy that there are actually people who believe Eric Holder should step down.
Yet 76% want special prosecutor. MT @rorycooper Gwen Ifill: people "dont want to know the details back and forth" of IRS targeting. Disagree

Gwen Ifill basically just said James Rosen had it coming.

"Unbiased journalist" -> @pbsgwen: Fun to see the same (named & unnamed) folks calling for Holder resignation who always have. #consistency

The many responses challenging her stance did not sit well.
Deciding who to block today. #somanychoices

When you can’t win the argument, just start blocking people.

@pbsgwen You'll block anyone who disagrees with Liberal Orthodoxy. No surprises there.

But if she thinks there aren’t many who want the truth to emerge and those responsible to be held accountable, she is sadly mistaken.
@pbsgwen Guess what Gwen? We do want ALL the details. #IRS #ThisWeek
— Cat Mulmack (@Mulmack) June 2, 2013
@pbsgwen As the abuses of power have become egregious to the point of criminal, yes, the calls will continue. Why would they not?

That's because he still deserves it. There's now even more proof now than before. He has always been corrupt and he always will be. @pbsgwen

Could this be a possibility?

Regardless, where’s the concern from Ifill about the privacy of James Rosen and others who have been targeted?
@pbsgwen also good to see consistency in the lap dog press who'll always come to this admins defense, no mattet what.
