We Need To Get Oprah To Interview * ......
after what she did to this author that lied and fictionalize his non-fiction book. Oprah made that guy tell her everything.

2. Do you think for one nano-second he would
open up to a woman, especially a heroic, leading black woman? I say......Never.

4. If only the American media would demand the truth from the Bush
administration like Oprah demanded the truth from that author...

Things would move fast if that happened...but I dont hold out hope...

7. Wouldn't work
The latest Frey interview was done like that because Dead Intern Joe and plenty other scumbags were dragging Oprah's name through the mud, condemning Ms. Winfrey as if she wrote the book herself. Whether the scumbags were motivated by trashing a successful black woman or the desire to distract from the problems of the Halliburton Administration, the damage to Ms. Winfrey's reputation was becoming real. Hence, there was need for Mr. Winfrey to throw Frey under the bus. This problem doesn't exist with Bush. Bush is damaging America's reputation, not Ms. Winfrey's.

8. Hold a Republican "president" to at least the same minimal standard...
...as some soon-to-be-forgotten middlebrow author? What kind of priorities are that! :sarcasm:

9. I think we need to stop listening to Oprah
She's a world class grandstander. It's all about her.

10. She did in 2000 on her show.
She had Al Gore on for one show and then * for another. She refused to really ask any hard questions and said she just wanted to let people know more about the two men. She and Al Gore worked together at a TV station one time many years ago. She was probably nicer to * than Gore if I was forced to choose. Both interviews were pretty lame and non-political. *'s even more so than Gore's. I just thought * was despicable back then! I couldn't have even guessed how bad he would turn out to be.

As far as edgy, hard-hitting reporting, you certainly shouldn't look to Oprah for that.
