Oprah Gives A Thumbs Down

Despite the Republican's best efforts to persuade Oprah Winfrey have Sarah Palein as a guest on her popular women's show, Oprah is sticking to her guns, and has refused.

If Palein isn't ready to 'meet the regular press', she damned sure isn't ready for Oprah:-)

Excerpt from article: But Winfrey, responding to rumours on conservative websites like the Drudge Report that her staff was divided on the issue, squashed the idea of an interview. 'When I decided that I was going to take my first public stance in support of a candidate, I made the decision not to use my show as a platform for any of the candidates,' she said in a statement. End of excerpt, with whole story <link> found here.

HERE IS YET ANOTHER FROM THAT ARTICLE:

The issue shows the potential danger in Winfrey's open support for Obama, especially as he was a guest on her show several times before she came out in favour of his candidacy. It also now plays into a current Republican strategy of attacking the media as biased against their party. The story also shows the many unpredictable ways that Palin has already shaken up the presidential election. Her sex and modest family background has opened up a whole new demographic appeal for the McCain campaign which is now aggressively courting suburban and small-town American women - who are exactly Winfrey's audience.

Poor baby....so you whine that the media doesn't 'like republicans'!

Too bad....anyone who cared would ask themselves 'why' and work to do something about it, if it mattered that much.

I'll leave you to your boo-hooing, and while you are at it, blow your nose.

Ophra is not the "media". Why are you complaining out one side of your mouth that Palin is hiding from the media; then complaining out the other side about their efforts to put her in the spotlight.

You're as two faced as any Liberal on Earth.
