[Commentary] None of the major Sunday morning talk shows currently features a minority host, so as ABC's This Week looks to replace George Stephanopoulos, there's a push to target a qualified African-American to fill the slot and to help frame the perception and coverage of issues that have a substantial impact on the American public. In a perfect world, picking a black journalist to replace Stephanopoulos would be a no-brainer. It's hard to find anyone with a thicker résumé — or a more commanding presence on television — than Gwen Ifill, the supernova of PBS' crop of journalists. Ifill is both moderator and managing editor of Washington Week, and she doubles as senior correspondent on The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer.
