ABC News "announced that Mark Halperin, the high-profile and plugged-in director of ABC's political unit and author of the influential [if Bush-fawning] daily tip sheet The Note, was leaving his coveted position to become an ABC News analyst," writes Eric Boehlert at Media Matters. "The Note's been cribbing off Karl Rove's talking points for way too long. . . . Let's hope it gets back to its journalistic roots." |
