ABC News Director To O’Reilly: Media Has Liberal Bias And ‘We’ve Got To Fix That’

Yesterday, Mark Halperin, ABC Political Director and co-author of the new book The Way To Win, went on The O’Reilly Factor and agreed with Bill O’Reilly that members of the “old media” are too liberal and should “prove to conservatives that we understand their grievances.”

When O’Reilly pointedly asked him if he believed major news organizations — including ABC — had a liberal bias, Halperin repeated the right-wing talking point that the media is trying to suppress Republican turnout. He told O’Reilly, “If I were a conservative, I understand why I would feel suspicious that I was not going to get a fair break at the end of an election. We’ve got to make sure we do better, so conservatives don’t have to be concerned about that.”



<But, of course, you don't have to worry about stroking liberals now or after the election. Right, Halperin? :eyes: >

1. That guy should just slap a wig on his head and call himself Ayn Rand

Anyone ever had the misfortune to read his terrible book, "A Winter's Tale"? Even before I knew anything about his background, he seemed Randian to me, and everything I've heard from him since backs him up. What a propagandist.

2. I did...read "A Winter's Tale", I mean...

Frankly, couldn't figure out why it was considered so great.
The bit about the bridge was so....pointless. :shrug:
