Reply #8: Pray tell what shows around put Liberal candidates on exclusively? [View All]

I want to watch that show. All I see is shows putting on candidates of both sides, or the conservative side (as in Oprah's case.) It's nowhere near as simplistic as you are making it out. Oprah gained fame as someone who would support a decent family man with experience governing rather than a sexist pig in bed with corporations. To her fans, it's a slap in the face. If Jon Stewart suddenly started supporting George Bush for president, trust me, there would be lots of gunnars saying similar things, and lots of people tuning out. Shows attract audiences for a reason. People feel betrayed by Oprah. Oprah can be a "celebrity who suports conservative candidates" and that's fine. But she needs to be up front about it, and using her show that consists mainly of people who don't like it to influence the race isn't cricket.
