Halperin Decries 'Disgusting' Pro-Obama Media Bias in Election Coverage

Power, pop, and probings from ABC News Senior White House Correspondent Jake Tapper November 24, 2008

Via Politico we hear that at a recent conference, Mark Halperin -- of Time and ABC News -- decried the media coverage of the 2008 race.
"It's the most disgusting failure of people in our business since the Iraq war," Halperin said. "It was extreme bias, extreme pro-Obama coverage."
"The example that I use, at the end of the campaign, was the two profiles that The New York Times ran of the potential first ladies," Halperin said. "The story about Cindy McCain was vicious. It looked for every negative thing they could find about her and it case her in an extraordinarily negative light. It didn't talk about her work, for instance, as a mother for her children, and they cherry-picked every negative thing that's ever been written about her."

Mark Halperin of Time and ABC News says Obama coverage by the MSM was "the most disgusting failure since the coverage of the Irak war". Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha , ha, ha, ha!!!! As if he didn't know what was really going on all along and even contributed to it...

Time Warner CEO has been appointed to Obama's committee of economic adviors, so the cat is out of the bag now, Halperin. Take off your journalist's badge, you're just one more comedian. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha , ha, ha, ha, ha !!!!
