ABC News Should Kick Mark Halperin To The Curb

If ABC's Political News Director agrees with Sociopath Bill O'Reilly that the media is "too" liberal - when hell, it ain't even centrist! when it falls over itself to make the playing field easy for the Bushies - then Mark Halperin needs to go and perhaps he should take ABC with him!

From Think Progress:

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.”
