    I can back up what I say

    About her whining about the “liberal media” asking gotcha questions. I feel Abubakar Alhassan who teaches Mass Media Ethics at University of Idaho's School of Journalism makes valid points. Note the name of the school, he said “I think the media that's had the opportunity to interview her was just giving her that opportunity to explain to people the controversies out there she hasn't spoken about... I don't think they asked any ‘gotcha’ questions. I don't think a question about which it turns out she doesn't know much is a "gotcha” (Journalism Professor at Palin's Alma Mater: 'I Don't Think They Asked Any "Gotcha" Questions'. The New York Observer October 1, 2008)

    Face it Oprah has been beaten in the rating game by Tyra Banks and look what she will do to get her ratings up. I bet she promised Palin she would play nice. Fox news is proving to the democrats that the undecided have decided against liberal media in favor of conservatives. Ophrah is no dumbie, she realizes Palin is money in the bank for her and a high rating number for that show. But considering channel 11 doesn't reach where I live, I guess I will have to read all the comments for the critic's review of the show.

    Reading this stuff is truly funny!

    First I would like to thank all Sarah supports for citing reasons why she should never be elected to anything. They seem to feel she’s too thin skinned to even appear on Oprah after writing a book. Oprah is pretty much a mandated appearance for anyone who writes a book. Much like their whining about SNL making fun of her, they make fun of everyone. Chey Chase made his career on Gerald Ford. But Gosh darn it, Sarah is different! She just can’t take it, or so they seem to believe. Do they really believe if she ever won should wouldn’t face criticism?

    Shucks with supporters like this who needs Obama?

    Oprah is no fool-, This will be a raitings Bonnaza, I just hope Palin does better than her interview with Katie Couric. Oprah's ratings will go through the roof and Sarah will sell millions of books. It's a win-win for both. I can't wait to see SNL do the spoof of the interview...(Can't knock the hustle)
