“I agree that Sarah Palin would be a fantastic interview, and I would love to have her on after the campaign is over.”
- Oprah Winfrey
Drudge reports that Oprah refuses to have Sarah Palin on her show. Oprah claims no such decision has been made, but staffers tell the Drudge Report that Palin is unwelcome because of Winfrey’s support of Barack Obama. Obama launched his bid for the presidency on the talk queen’s show.
There is no surprise that Oprah doesn’t want to give any air time to the GOP, but there is a good deal of hypocrisy in the decision. Winfrey claims that she doesn’t want her show to be a platform for any candidate, but not only has she had Sen. Obama on the show, but has openly supported him on and off the air.
Governor Palin would likely be a huge hit and a great fit for the show, which caters to women. It remains to be seen if Palin’s tremendous popularity elicits a new response from the show.
For now, Oprah will just hope everyone believes that launching Obama’s campaign and then suggesting that she will be glad to have Palin on “after the campaign” is fair play. For the rest of us - just another proof of the left-wing media bias.
