Who is Mark Halperin?

[BedellBrave]

I haven't watched any of the news channels in a long time. This guy writes for Time and is a contributor to MSNBC. Who is he? Is he a token moderate or conservative voice? I watched/listened to the following interview via RCP (though it's a NewsMax interview - and I'm not really a fan of Newsmax).

Talks about Iran, ACA (including news bias and death panels - at the 8 minute mark), & the Senate nuclear option.

Generally considered to be on the conservative side, but isn't readily pigeon-holed.

Conservatives hate him because he criticized the Bush 2004 campaign for distorting more than Kerry. Liberals hate him (and MSNBC suspended him) because he called Obama "kind of a d*ck" on national television.

I don't follow him that much. Read a couple of reviews of his book on the 2012 election that really pounded on it, but I imagine, like Liberace, he's crying all the way to the bank.

Yeah. Game Change (2009) actually was made into an HBO film last year I think it was.

I don't think Game Change 2 is out yet.
