Related: About this forumTYT: "Liberal Media" Constantly Scolds Democrats For Attacking Republicans (And Not Vice-Versa)
Were told to watch out for the liberal media. Mainstream media is anything but... Cenk Uygur, host of the The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"Appearing on NBCs Today Monday morning, Bloomberg Politics host (and kinda-MSNBC host) Mark Halperin gave PresidentBarack Obama low marks for his Oval Office speech on terrorism Sunday, calling it ultimately bad for the country.
Are you surprised that in this speech he didnt offer anything new in terms of strategy or policy, that it was basically stay the course? hostMatt Lauer asked.
"Im surprised by that. Im also surprised that he didnt do a good enough job or maybe any job of reaching out to the Republicans, Halperin said.
This is the time when we need national unity; were in the middle of a presidential campaign, hes leaving office in little over a year. The reaction from Republicans uniformly bad, not just the presidential candidates but the Capitol Hill leaders, he continued.
In the end, Halperin wasnt a fan of the speech: I think nothing new, no sense of bipartisanship: bad for the country.*

(1,727 posts)1. I knew that Halperin was a dishonest shit stain, but it's really disappointing to see Charlie Rose
go down this road. I used to think that he was one of few remaining journalists with integrity in the US.

To the traitors who vowed at the first inauguration to block ANYTHING he tried to do? The traitors who were working feverishly to make the President look ineffective during the recent talks in Europe? THOSE clowns? There is nothing there to reach out to. President Obama looks exhausted, thanks to the racist, obstructinists on the so-called "right" who are giggling like schoolgirls over voting against the ACA act. Halperin? Wasn't PayMe available? Imagine where this country would be if we had two parties who actually worked for the benefit of the citizens, not just the mulri millionaires?
