Journalism is going to change its shorts?

Journalism is finally noticing the muck, the skid marks that are today's MSM employees.

[Lizavetta]

That's what my reaction was.

Oooooo, how brave of Halperin to claim 'disgust' at media (of which he was a part) AFTER the object of their bias is safely in office.

What a crock of sh##, we have been saying this all along, we have been reporting voter fraud, sinister friendships with thier president elect, issues with his citizenship, you name it we knew about it, and now so conveniently after the election that went thier way thanks to the despicable pond scum media whores they report media bias. 55 million of us did not vote thier way, if 55 million of us refuse to buy thier papers, magazines, watch thier programing, and especially BOYCOTT thier sponsors we will have a grave effect on thier bottom line. Consider it a special thank you to those who back doored us with this empty suit and his trojan horse full of seedy bottomdwelling shadows.

And here’s the other survey by Rasmussen:

Now their mission is to protect him and spin everything he does as positive. If he backs off on a campaign promise it will be because of his brilliance and understanding in realizing a new course of action after assessing the situation.

Exactly!!

Hussein was presented with the perfect scenario (with our victory in Iraq and the economic meltdown)--

so that the MSM will portray ANYTHING he does as a big positive.

The MSM will never let anyone forget about the meltdown he inherited--therefore he has the PERFECT ALIBI and EXCUSE for anything that happens in the next four years.

The MSM will let him 'do no wrong' because of that. His luck is unbelievable.

It’s always worse to hurt people who trust you. In the USSR, no one trusted Pravda. Yet in 2008, many American readers trusted their newspapers and magazines.

You let them down. You lied to them by omission. They voted without knowing an 1/8 of the facts that they would have wanted to know about Obama, even those that would have voted for him anyway. That was your job, journalists, and you all blew it.

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

Indeed! They have been setting the stage for 8 years now! That was critical as they cast the GOP leadership
as inept. Unfortunately the GOP lended their support.

[SampleMan]

If Obama were shot in the ass, it would result in a severe head wound to dozens of MSM reporters.

The MSM as a whole are performing a Lewinski on the guy.

[seawolf101]

Shocking!!!

I shocked to hear this.

[quintr]

“...media’s performance during the campaign simply “disgusting...”

The media need to realize that this is how the conservatives view their antics because they need to know that this disgust is tied to their revenue stream and loss of readers.

[kabar]

Damage done or mission accomplished depending upon your perspective. The MSM can now admit all they want. It changes nothing.

[cookcounty]

"if 55 million of us refuse to buy thier papers, magazines, watch thier programing, and especially BOYCOTT their sponsors"

Boycott?......How? I already don't need denture adhesives, fiber additives, or sexual vav-voomwers.

[GOPJ]

I’d like to know where the Publishers are on this issue. Are they willing to go out of business so the newsroom kids can play cheerleader for one side?

[johnny7]

Thanks...

Confessions not taken here and apologies not accepted, Halperin.

[matginzac]

Forgive me (6 oz.s of rum in action) but WTF!!!!!! Good God - these people are completely shameless. Anyone could have written this - do they think we are really THAT stupid? And they get paid for these astounding revelations? Read an article today written by some wizard at the LA Times that TV MSM news is declining and the numbers are tanking, even during the election. DUH!!!!! But, of course, it has NOTHING to do with the crappy, biased coverage. Can’t fing their a** for a hole in the ground - geez!

[ransomnote]

Unfortunately, the media’s Machiavellian “OH I WAS SOOOO BAD” is worse than it looks, and it does look loathsome. I wondered why publications like the NYTimes are ‘admitting’ to bias with such GUSTO. I mean, obviously they waited until their guy won and then turned their attention to all those subscription cancellations. And then I read on some other site a post by a repub warning that the media will continue to trumpet their ‘sins’ of bias in order to lay the groundwork for the ‘Fairness Doctrine’. They will use their cheerleading and electioneering for Obama, which I consider campaign contributions on their part, to ‘prove’ that the ‘Fairness Doctrine’ should be slapped in place pronto. With the intent, of course, of silencing the right.

[I still care]

Let me correct this.

“You do have to take into account the fact that this was a remarkable candidacy,” Halperin said. “There were a lot of good stories. He was BLACK.”

It was Sarah Palin that was NEW.
