Oprah: Sarah Palin Can Come On My Show After The Election

Sorry Oprah - this is a huge mistake on your part.

The Reich has been indicating that they are NOT going to allow the Press near Palin. Therefore she will not be exposed for the Fraud she is.

If you can get her on - DO IT! and ask all of the questions that Maddow, Hartmann, Rhodes, Olbermann, Stewart, Colbert, and Walter Cronkite and Murrow would ask this Bimbo.


Oprah: Sarah Palin Can Come On My Show After The Election
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/09/05/oprah-sarah-palin-can-com_n_124251.html

Oprah Winfrey, who made the first political endorsement of her life this year in supporting Barack Obama, said in a statement Friday that she would be happy to have Republican Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin on her show — but not until after the election is over. The statement was meant to clarify a report on the Drudge Report, which claimed Oprah's staff was divided over having Palin and that Oprah refused due to her support of Obama:

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.

3. Because she is supporting Obama
and she is not giving the Reps an outlet to spout their lies on her show.

2. Her show, her time, she can do what she wants with it.
The thing is that if conservatives would support the Fairness Doctrine then a case could be made that she must be allowed on.

6. ummm... I think Oprah would still get to decide who to ask on her show.
The Fairness Doctrine wouldn't change that.

5. Disagree.
Oprah is Oprah. She is not a reporter or a hard journalist. To have her pretend to be one doesn't cut it, and would be giving Palin the pass she is looking for. Palin either does interviews with real journalists or continues to hide from the press and gets called on it, day after day.

Good decision by Oprah. She knows when she's being used.

8. Probably a good decision.
Palin doesn't need an outlet that doesn't involve serious journalists.
