Keep in mind that Oprah supports Obamessiah, donates money to his campaign, and has had him on her show at least two times that I am aware of (I stopped watching her show when she started spouting out all that New-Age Christianity bunk and then convienently forgot to send me a brand new car for free).

Is Oprah Biased? Host Won’t Interview Palin
Republican VP Nominee Sarah Palin Isn’t Welcome on ‘Oprah’

She may have let Tom Cruise jump all over her couch, but Oprah Winfrey says that Sarah Palin can’t even sit on it.
At least not until after the presidential election, that is.
Responding to media reports first publicized on Matt Drudge’s “The Drudge Report” claiming there was turmoil at Winfrey’s Harpo Studios about whether to book the GOP vice presidential nominee on the popular talk show, Winfrey’s camp said today that while she has nothing against Palin, the veep hopeful won’t appear on the show anytime soon.
“The item in today’s ‘Drudge Report’ is categorically untrue,” Winfrey said in a written statement provided to ABCNews.com. “There has been absolutely no discussion about having Sarah Palin on my show.
“At the beginning of the presidential campaign, when I decided that I was going to take my first public stance in support of a candidate, I made the decision not to use my show as a platform for any of the candidates,” Winfrey wrote.
Really?????? What about this:
I agree that Sarah Palin would be a fantastic interview, and I would love to have her on after the campaign is over.”
But Winfrey, who publicly endorsed Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama in May 2008, is being widely criticized by some fans of the show who say she’s being unfair and biased.
“Once she brings Obama on and opens the door to political people [on her show], it’s only fair to bring both Republicans and Democrats on,” she added.
But, according to mother and Winfrey fan Donna Chaffins, when Obama appeared on the show does matter.
“Personally, as long as she claims she will not use her show as a platform and as long as she doesn’t campaign for him on the show, I have no problem with her waiting to have Palin on the show,” Chaffins said.
