The mainstream media's support for Barack Obama's presidential campaign was so biased that even major insiders are now admitting they were shocked by its depth and depravity.
Last week, Time magazine's Mark Halperin called the media's performance during the campaign simply "disgusting."
Halperin told a panel of media analysts at the Politico/USC conference on the 2008 election, "It's the most disgusting failure of people in our business since the Iraq war."
He added, "It was extreme bias, extreme pro-Obama coverage."

What? You are shocked at your own behavior? Losers have no core. They would do it all over again if given a second chance. If nothing changes nothing changes. Hope they pay for it in spades.
Some of us outsiders weren't. We've long known what they are...
It certainly was not fair coverage. Lately people who don’t pay too much attention to MSM bias are saying it was too much!
I hope that the MSM is made entirely irrelevant as a result.
Wow! Next they’ll be reporting the sun rises in the east!
They think that admitting to their journalistic malpractice will absolve them of their sins, and restore their “credibility.”
Not a freakin’ chance.
Just look at the staff cuts lately. They're working on it.
Look how they have to throw in:
“It’s the most disgusting failure of people in our business since the Iraq war.”
This is simply an attempt to recalibrate for next time...which will be worse.
“The One” could never have withstood the thrashing that Governor Palin and her family had to endure from the Commie ‘RATS in the MSM. That whole thing was disgraceful but exactly what you would expect from a bunch of Marxist fascists.
You know guys you could semi fix it if you’d start paying attention to the case that is with David Souter right now about Obama’s Birth certificate. If you all would check a little closer you might just find another story of Watergate proportions!
They see themselves more in the role of “directors” of events rather than as reporters. And, I suppose, like in the movie business, they’ll call for a re-shoot when they see how badly they’ve screwed up?
The news media ought to confess their sin and sacrifice to their god, materialism!
>”It’s the most disgusting failure of people in our business since the Iraq war.”
LOL - What, a decade [max]? You don’t think it’s perhaps a bit MORE disgusting than that?
Sort of like restoring virginity...
This is simply this: they already achieved their objective of getting their “boy” into office so now, they have to pretend to be objective to get back the lost “sheep” of the masses who don’t trust them anymore.
Geeeee,,,,yathink? (rolling eyes)
Actually, that comment in itself is incredibly creme-puffed biased and 'soft-balled'.
I would think the words unbelievably outrageous and absolutely contemptible are much more appropriate and accurate.
