Oprah WinfreyOprah To Do Primetime Christmas Special With The Obamas
In fact, and not coincidentally, it's called "Christmas at the White House: An Oprah Primetime Special." With all the money this woman has, they couldn't come up with a better name? Apparently not according to THR's Live Feed: Chicago Sun-Times's Mitchell: 'Things That Only Oprah and God Can Make Happen'
You might not think you're going to miss Oprah, but you are. There are stories that only Oprah can do, and there are things that only Oprah and God can make happen. Mitchell's adulation for Oprah is shared by many in the mainstream media. From early shows devoted to male-bashing through attacks on free enterprise and limited government to her campaigning for Barack Obama's election, Winfrey has burnished her liberal credentials. In bracketing Oprah with God, however, I wonder why Mitchell didn't include Obama, as in "There are things that only Oprah and God and the Federal government under the unparalleled leadership of Barack Hussein Obama can make happen." Oprah Sells 'Sexually Charged' Show to HBO
The adultery-and-child-abandonment plot is being written by Erin Cressida Wilson, best known for writing the 2002 indie film "Secretary," which starred James Spader and Maggie Gyllenhaal film in "the story of a boss-secretary relationship that veers into S&M." Winfrey and Harpo Films president Kate Forte will be executive producers along with Wilson:
Sarah Palin Gives Oprah Her Highest Ratings In Two Years
Such appears to be the case given the announcement that Monday's episode of "Oprah" was the most watched for the daytime talk queen in two years. Palin even drew more viewers than pop singer Whitney Houston when she sat with Oprah earlier this year. Just imagine all the sighs and rolling eyes in newsrooms from coast to coast. Palin Admits Annoyance in 2008 Interview with CBS’s Katie Couric, 'The Perky One'Sarah Palin, in an interview that is a part of the lead up to the Nov. 17 release of her new book "Going Rogue," appeared on Oprah Winfrey's TV show on Nov. 16. Aside from the questions about the campaign, she expressed her irritation with "CBS Evening News" anchor Katie Couric, or as she referred to her - "the perky one." "Now, obviously, you've why didn't you just name some books or magazines?" Winfrey asked. Palin explained that she didn't want to come off as unprofessional, but she detected an elitist vibe from Couric with the infamous question about her reading habits. Sarah Palin Tells Oprah 'I Knew [Couric] Wasn't a Good Interview'
On Thursday Oprah released a couple of previews. Most interesting was the snippet of Winfrey asking Palin about her controversial interview with CBS "Evening News" anchor Katie Couric (video embedded below the fold with transcript): TVNewser: 'Could Glenn Beck Take Over Oprah's Syndicated Slot?'
On Friday, the website TVNewser wondered if this might open the door for Fox News sensation Glenn Beck to move into such a syndicated arrangement. This was on the heals of the New York Times lavishing praise on Beck for being the new Oprah when it comes to helping the sales of fiction writers. Newser's Chris Ariens wrote: NYT: Is Glenn Beck the New Oprah?
Hold onto your seats, for that's not a quote from the National Review or the Weekly Standard. It's actually the opening paragraph of an absolutely glowing piece about Beck's impact on the book industry published Thursday by -- drum roll please -- the New York Times (h/t Mediaite): MSNBC Entertainment Editor Furthers Misinformation About PalinMSNBC entertainment editor Courtney Hazlett spent all of two minutes on "Morning Meeting" with Dylan Ratigan and still managed to get her facts wrong. Noting former Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin's scheduled November 16 appearance on "Oprah," Hazlett told viewers that the former Alaska governor "famously said no to appearing on Oprah" during the 2008 presidential campaign, because Palin knew "you get more publicity rejecting Oprah than possibly going on." The only trouble is, as my colleague Noel Sheppard noted earlier today, that is patently false. It was, in fact, Obama-endorsing Oprah Winfrey who refused to book Palin on her program during the campaign season, although she expressed an interest in having her on after the election. What's more, while Hazlett seems to portray Oprah as doing Palin a favor, Washington Post TV columnist Lisa de Moraes today noted that the scheduling move may serve Oprah's best interest by reaching out to disaffected conservative women who used to be fans of her program: People Mag Falsely Claims Palin Refused To Appear On Oprah Last Year
Shortly after it was announced, People magazine's web article on the matter falsely informed readers that Palin refused Oprah's invitation during the campaign last year (h/t NB reader Christy Ellsworth):
Actually, as ABCNews.com reported last September, it was Oprah that refused to have Palin on her show: Sarah Palin To Go On Oprah, Winfrey's Fans Aren't Pleased
As announced moments ago at Oprah.com:
Unfortunately, judging by some of the comments being left at her website, Oprah's fans are not pleased: Couric Champions Obama-Obama-Oprah Olympic Quest 'Dream Team' With First Lady Michelle Obama and Oprah Winfrey now in Copenhagen, CBS anchor Katie Couric on Wednesday night declared “the 'Dream Team' pushing Chicago's bid for the 2016 Olympic summer games is nearly complete” and is now just awaiting “the team captain” -- that would be President Barack Obama, who “arrives Friday ahead of the final vote.”
On ABC, reporter Yunji de Nies marveled at her discovery that members of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) are not as impressed by President Obama as are those in the American press corps: “Even the prospect of meeting President Obama on Friday leaves some of them unfazed.” She then showed a clip of herself asking an unidentified man: “So, you're not impressed by the President?” The man, who per a scan of the IOC site's pictures most-resembles Japan's Chiharu Igaya, confirmed: “Never, never.” Chicago Tribune Ignores Thousands at Tea Party Express Protest
Today's Tribune print edition makes no mention of yesterday's Tea Party Express protest in New Lenox, Illinois, located only 36 miles from Chicago's Loop. The Southtown Star did cover the event on its Web site, noting: About 6,000 people packed the hillside venue at The Commons Performing Arts Pavilion for the protest, part of a nationwide Tea Party Express tour that includes speeches, musical performances and updates from a traveling Fox News correspondent.
Today's Tribune devotes two stories, six pictures, and two maps to Oprah Winfrey's "takeover of downtown Chicago Monday." And there are stories on disgraced former Gov. Rod Blagojevich's media blitz to hawk his new book, Chicago students getting free haircuts with which to start the new school year, and how more stores are now accepting food stamps. CBS Warns of Bad Oprah Advice, No Mention of Obama Endorsement
Later, co-host Julie Chen also teased the upcoming segment with similar declarations: "Still ahead in this half hour, it is no secret that Oprah is a great sales person, but just because she's selling, the question is should you be buying?...Well up next, the Oprah Winfrey seal of approval. Is it all that it's cracked up to be? We're going to look at the pros and the cons of Oprah's power." During the latter tease from Chen and briefly in the report that followed, footage of Oprah speaking at an Obama rally was shown, but not discussed. The report, by correspondent Michelle Miller, featured Syracuse University pop culture professor Robert Thompson, who explained: "She has managed to put the Oprah seal of approval, which is a really powerful seal of approval, on some things that I think most people would call real crackpot ideas." Miller cited Newsweek magazine’s reporting on the topic and quoted senior editor Weston Kosova: "Some of the advice she gives on the show, especially with regard to health matters and medicine, is not good advice. Sometimes the advice that guests give on the show could actually hurt you." Girlfriends' Guides Author Discovers Oprah's Sudden Lesbian Syndrome
So wrote Iovine in a Huffington Post article Friday. In a piece cutely titled "Switching Sides Later in Life," the former Playmate of the Month and mother of four explained why so "many of [her] formerly married-with-children Girlfriends have bolted from their traditional family geometry and found true love with other women": 'Fox News Watch' Covers NewsBusters' CNN/Oprah.com Story On Monday, NewsBuster Warner Todd Huston revealed Oprah.com and CNN's statistically unsupported theory that women are leaving men for other women.
On Saturday, "Fox News Watch" shared this bizarre story with its viewers, giving NewsBusters credit for the revelation. Host Jon Scott stated (video embedded right, h/t Jeff Poor): Which Time Tribute is Goopier: Michelle Obama by Oprah, or Oprah by Diane Sawyer?
CNN/Oprah.com: Calls Sudden Lesbian Syndrome a 'New' Trend Without Any Proof
After the shocking headline and the first three paragraphs proclaiming a new lesbian revolution in America today, though, the piece admits that there are no real statistics to prove the thesis. The whole claim is merely based on the anecdotal stories of the "experts" that Oprah.com dug up to substantiate the tale. 'O' Magazine Goes to Bat for Lesbian Love In an emotional six page narrative, Oprah’s magazine “comes out” in favor of lesbianism.
![]() Barack Obama. Eckhart Tolle. Dr. Phil. With the Midas touch, Oprah Winfrey turned these men to gold. Her recommendations have rocketed a variety of books – from centuries-old literary classics to New Age drivel – onto the bestseller lists. Now, in the latest issue of “O” magazine, she’s trying her hand at mainstreaming lesbianism. ABC Features Gayle King to Sing About, Tout 'Great Ideas' of First Lady
It seemed as though there was no question that Ms. King could not turn into effusive, unadulterated praise of politician's wife. After being asked by Sawyer about whether the first lady is bothered by questions about fashion, King said no and remarked, "It's like, there's a song by Maino, a rapper," she began. To demonstrate, the O editor started singing, "Hi, hater. You see me." She broke off and then rhapsodized, "People are just jealous, but Michelle- there is no point she is trying to prove. She's comfortable in her own skin and she looks good." |
