A July 1 Accuracy in Media blog post by Roger Aronoff follows the Media Research Center in failing to condemn Mark Halperin for calling President Obama “kind of a dick” while simultaneously acknowledging that it was so offensive that he can’t use the word uncensored, instead using “d***” and “the ‘d’ word.”
Aronoff even goes on to literally repeat an MRC conspiracy, claiming that it Halperin “had instead called George W. Bush a fascist or a war criminal, no problem there at MSNBC, as Media Research Center has pointed out.” But if Aronoff is so unbothered by Halperin’s use of the word “dick,” why won’t he spell it out?
