BIG DILEMMA: OPRAH BALKS AT HOSTING SARAH PALIN; STAFF DIVIDED
BIG DILEMMA: OPRAH BALKS AT HOSTING SARAH PALIN; STAFF DIVIDED
Fri Sep 05 2008 08:55:46 ET
Oprah Winfrey may have introduced Democrat Barack Obama to the women of America -- but the talkshow queen is not rushing to embrace the first woman on a Republican presidential ticket!
Oprah's staff is sharply divided on the merits of booking Sarah Palin, sources tell the DRUDGE REPORT.
"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!
It is not clear if Oprah has softened her position after watching Palin's historic convention speech.
Last year, Winfrey blocked an appearance by Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, timed to a promotional tour of his autobiography.
Oprah and executive producer Sheri Salata, who has contributed thousands of dollars to Obama's campaign, refused requests for comment.

Oprah had Bill O'Riely on her show, and she has had others who she does not agree with.
Let me ask you a question, did Rush, Hannity (his own show, not the one with the Combs), O'Reily, or Beck bring/invite OBama, Biden, or any Democrat (other than the two democratic senators, Liberman and the one that spoke at the RNC in 2004?) Does Fox interview liberals (not the token liberal shows comb/hannity, gelda, etc) Honest questions because I don't follow these media source, and I'd assume someone on this forum does.

It's a no win situation for Oprah.
Palin hits another grandslam in front of a national audience, comprised mainly of women.
or
Palin gets even more attention from a national audience because she's been snubbed by Oprah.

Most Dems are too cowardly to face real questions though. I will give Obama kudos for finally appearing on O'Reilly's show last night and next week.

Drudge is doing what Drudge best, starting unverified contraversy. | |

Obama was on O'Reilly last night. | Thanks for the update. But, again an honest question, does Drudge offer only verified stories, and are they a media source that leans towards being conservative? | |

This is a classic evasion tactic.
But pick any one. oprah palin - Google News Quote: |
Oprah had Bill O'Riely on her show, and she has had others who she does not agree with.

yes, there are challenges and open invitations all the time for left wingers to come on both rush and hannity.
In fact as recently as when Obama said one of his staffers would "tear hannity apart" Hannity called the obama campaign to set it up.
never happened.
They foam at the mouth to talk to left wing canidates. | |
