I see a lot of backing off on what the chosen ONE will or can actually do, in the MSM. This is quite typical. It's CYA time for the likes of Helper-in. His sudden cognizence that Obama isn't what he's cracked up to be is, incredibly, about two years late. It's a mystery to me how a guy like this can be called a legitimate journalist...at Time Rag no less. But I could also say the same for any number of MSM "journalists" and commentators. So  it's not really a mystery....it's just liberal "journalists" making excuses for their sorry a**es. I used to think politicians were the bane of society, but I can't think of anyone more loathsome than an MSM "journalist" nowadays, who kisses the behind of a typical liberal politician in the face of his own purportedly professional standards. 

This is a perfect example of what will be on-going for the next four years. But I'm sure NBusters will have a blast reporting all of it, and I, for one, will savor every delectable piece of MSM crow. Thanks much, Warner.  

My wife gave me a birthday subscription to Time thinking, since I was somewhat a "news junkie" I'd like it. I read the first issue and cancelled it. Halperin and Klein and Time in general are a waste of trees. Unfortunately I've yet to find a good 'non biased' magazine or newspaper, which is why I hit the Web. At least here its' easy to sort the baloney from the fact, and this site is probably one of the best for doing that.

This guy's comment would have meant a little something if it was said during the election, now its just meaningless words. 

Warner:  Thank you for insight and exposee of Halperin's repudiation of his brain's conduct.  I'll add one comment.  TIME and so many others, blasted "W" throughout 2006 to help get Dems elected in Nov06 and it worked.  Then they concentrated on White House '08.  What we've seen is a mind-numbing focus on their part.......in blatant contradiction to their financial self-interest.  When Pelosi, Reid and those hyper-Leftists took over, the economy got NO relief, no tax reductions, no help to provide better tax incentives or more drilling or anything to help.  Many of us believe that two years of Dem control, and now with Obama they'll have even more for 2 more years, means economic catastrophe for the country.  Therefore, ad revenues for rags like NYT and TIME are plummeting, so they have helped dig their own grave.  To me, this shows that idiots like Halperin and Sulzberger couldn't see past the ends of their noses.   Good riddance to them, but woe for our country with the Three Stooges in charge now.

One effective suggestion has emerged from Howell over at WaPo. That involves a structural change accomplished via a diversity program for hiring conservative journalists. That's an inch we should noisily expand into a mile.

and now they have to "lie" in it. The media did it to themselves. No one forced them to relentlessly go after Bush for 4 years and then elevate a socialist who couldn't pass a back ground check to "messiah" and essentially catapult him into power.

The media doesn't have buyers remorse. It's a token attempt to attract conservatives and republicans into buying their product. The remorse will come when either major media goes belly up or Obama effectively turns them into a government run press.

How hypocritical the press is. They make comments about Russia and China's lack of "free press" but don't look at their own agenda. Their agenda was not sales. It stopped being sales when the media consciously started thinking about "who should be" president. It stopped being a free enterprise at that moment: The moment the main stream media decided to use their influence and power to help get a socialist with a questionable past elected.

Now, there are few things that can be done to correct this situation. Hopefully, it will be proven that Obama was born in Kenya and not HI. The place to look for that proof would be Kenya.

Never under estimate the power of stupid people in large groups.

     Very good description Jackie3! Just about says it all. Don't buy their stuff! Read it for free in the Doctors office, if you have to. When all the reporters loose all the jobs, and the bias MSM's are financially ruined, no problem for them. They can all go to work in the 2009 version of Obama's "CCC camps", as he puts everyone to work building the infrastructre of the USA. Probably a 5 year plan!

I have never witnessed anything like MSM's 2008 performance. I expect them to slant the news to favor liberals and put conseratives in a bad light, but this year, there wasn't even any pretense.

I can just imagine what would happen if Barack Obama killed someone in a fit of rage. MSM would be gathering to discuss how they could keep it from the public for the next eight years.

After 2008 election coverage, the whores in the media make the whores that work Times Square look like ethical ladies.

Halperin cited two specific instances of pro-Obama media bias seen in The New York Times.

Wow.  Halpern found two specific examples of media bias in the NYT.

I apologize for my lack of enthusiasm, but finding examples of bias at the New York Times is like finding examples of sand at the beach.

Daily Sarah Palin fact:

Sarah Palin is so tough, her moose kills shows signs of blunt-force trauma.

If you're going to sleep with the dogs, you're going to wake up with the fleas!

The MSM needs a massive flea bath, now!
