From Wikipedia:
In December 2011, Halperin was listed as #1 in Salon.com's 2011 Hack List, his reporting described as "shallow and predictable" as well as "both fixated solely on the horse race and also uniquely bad at analyzing the horse race."
Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting (FAIR) named Halperin as one of its P.U.-Litzer winners in 2013 for his comment about New Jersey governor Chris Christie: "Chris Christie is someone who is magical in the way politicians can be magical, like our last three presidents."
In his syndicated column, Ruben Navarrette accused Halperin of asking racist questions when interviewing Ted Cruz on May 9, 2015. Including asking the Senator to speak Spanish, list his favorite Cuban dishes, and favorite Hispanic music. Rick Moran, of the PJ Tatler, on May 10, 2015, wrote that "Asking Cruz to say something in Spanish is akin to asking a black person to eat watermelon or start dancing." Halperin responded to the criticism saying it was meant to be a light-hearted banter, and that "I apologize to those that were offended, and to Senator Cruz. I promise that I will work to make the tone and questions better next time."
