From Politico:And in the annals of establishment media protocol, Michelle Obama said this the other week: "Fortunately, We Have Help From The Media". Which brings me to this:
Mark Halperin, editor-at-large for Time, called President Obama “a dick” on Thursday on a popular MSNBC morning show and then quickly apologized.
“I thought he was a dick yesterday,” Halperin, who also is a senior political analyst for MSNBC, said on Morning Joe, referring to the President’s conduct during his press conference.
Host Joe Scarborough hoped to prevent the comment from being broadcast, saying, “Delay that. Delay that. What are you doing? I can’t believe… don’t do that. Did we delay that?”There would have been no such outcry if this were against Bush. Roll the tape!:
Halperin shouldn't apologoize to Obama. Obama should apologize to the American people for setting American against American with his demagoguery. More context via The Right Scoop:
