Mark Halperin is like some abusive husband who offers his wife a smarmy apology the day after breaking her nose and splitting her lip — “Sorry, baby, I know I went too far, but you still love me, right?”

Why are they saying this now? Do they get a bit of a giggle while they write this?

Now that they’ve succeeded in getting Obama elected (though not until the Electoral College says he is), they’re wanting to get their reader/viewership back by saying, “oh, those other guys were sooooo biased”. Where were they DURING the election?????? It’s safe NOW. Geez, how transparent.

[Misterioso]

According to the Web site Politico, Halperin, who edits Time's political site "The Page," zeroed in on two New York Times articles near the end of the campaign that profiled both Cindy McCain and Michelle Obama.

Phony "concern" by Halperin here. The shocking bias was the fact that Ayers, Rezko, Wright, Alinsky, Davis et al were swept under the rug.

**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.”**

Gee whiz. We all knew that. And we were screaming about it too. But no one would listen.

The news media ought to confess their sin and sacrifice to their god, materialism!

Wha . . . .??

[TheFourthMagi]

Start alternative media. Websites cost very little and can get as popular as their owners can make them.

[gimme1ibertee]

Oh,Please. Don’t even go there.
You guys are pathetic,immoral,unethical and unscrupulous...
that is,unless you’re fawning over some leftist puke.
THEN you think you’re gods.
Idiots.

The most ominous thing is that now the media know they can manipulate the public so much as to elect a President.

[airborne]

Change?

...careful what you wish for....

....oh, too late. :^(

[stockstrader]

Why doesn't he address the MSM's attempt to totally destroy the reputation of Sarah Palin and her family???

His omission of that ugly fact again highlights their--- AND HIS----sickening bias.

[Right Wing Assault]

He forgot his closing line!

“But by golly, we sure accomplished what we set out to do! Heh, heh!”

****

BTW, wasn’t there another lib source that criticized media coverage beside Halperin and Howell?

[LA Woman3]

State the obvious after the damage has been done. Wonder how magazine sales have been lately?

[MathDoc]

Their stock price has followed their credibility as their former readers discovered just how extensively extreme liberal bias has influenced their “journalism”. Their stock price is down from $45 five years ago to $5.34 today - and this professional journalist is only now discovering what investors and readers have been recognizing over those five years.

[SkyDancer]

To little to late ... so now they think they’ll win the confidence of Americans ?????

[stockstrader]

Last week, Time magazine's Mark Halperin called the media's performance during the campaign simply "disgusting."

I strongly disagree with him.

The media's pro-Obama media bias PALED and was nowhere near as 'disgusting'---

when compared to the media's attempt to completely destroy Sarah Palin.

[Walmartian]

You do some great work.

[Melinda]

It was, by all honest evaluations, a total dearth of ethics, win at all costs, destroy the future of Democracy, depraved, pathetic “performance” of biased coverage known to man. I only hope enough honest people remain to tear this travesty apart in text books for all to understand the dangerous precipice our country and freedom, and our very lives stand upon today thanks to these idiot/creeps.

[georgia peach]

And in four years you will be in the tank again ,Oh MSM.Spare me!

[Right Wing Assault]

I asked about other media people mentioning bias. No, it was the public as surveyed by Pew. 70% noticed obama bias.

And, there was another recent survey I’m still looking for.
