Oprah Won’t Have Palin On Her Show, Afraid It Will Hurt The One’s Campaign
Oprah won’t be putting Sarah Palin - right now the nation’s most popular politician - on her show. Because she’s afraid it might hurt The One’s campaign.
“Half of her staff really wants Sarah Palin on,” an insider explains. “Oprah’s website is getting tons of requests to put her on, but Oprah and a couple of her top people are adamantly against it because of Obama.”
One executive close to Winfrey is warning any Palin ban could ignite a dramatic backlash!
You’d think Oprah would want Palin on the show. After all, Palin could very well be the nation’s first female Vice President and is currently the darling of most Americans. Oprah is a show with a heavy female demographic. In fact, I thought Oprah and her show was all about empowering women. So it’s a natural, no?
If I were a liberal I’d probably be screaming about the fairness doctrine. And indeed, given that Oprah’s show airs on NBC which in turn is broadcast in communities across the nation, the fairness doctrine might even be made to apply.
But I am not a liberal, I love free speech, and I feel that Oprah should be able to do with her show whatever she wants.
That, however, won’t stop me from chuckling about yet another entertainment industry liberal so thoroughly in the bag for Obama that they won’t even consider talking to a Republican.
Update: Oprah responds:
OPRAH’S STATEMENT: “The item in today’s Drudge Report is categorically untrue. There has been absolutely no discussion about having Sarah Palin on my show. At the beginning of this Presidential campaign 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. I agree that Sarah Palin would be a fantastic interview, and I would love to have her on after the campaign is over.”
She wont use her show as a platform for any candidate? That’s baloney. She had Obama on her show. Is she suggesting that his appearance on her show (in conjunction of her personal endorsement of him) didn’t help his campaign?

Oprah must think we’re stupid.
