We’re 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 NBC’s 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 didn’t offer anything new in terms of strategy or policy, that it was basically stay the course?” hostMatt Lauer asked.

“I’m surprised by that. I’m also surprised that he didn’t 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; we’re in the middle of a presidential campaign, he’s 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 wasn’t a fan of the speech: “I think nothing new, no sense of bipartisanship: bad for the country.””*
