Run away while you you can!

Anything that is trying to manipulate your “image”
Is toxic to your sense of self.
Who you are is a Gift of God and
Is precious beyond measure.

Do NOT let anyone or anything diminish that Gift 💝

This frees her for the presidential race, doesn’t it?

Oprah should appreciate how the Lefts propaganda machines work. She’s built her own over the years.

So then, Oprah doesn’t take direction well? She’s used to having her own show, running things as she sees fit? is that what is going on here?

Oprah was a host on 60 minutes? Who knew?

I stopped watching 60 Minutes when I realized it was not an information show but a propaganda show.

I escaped from the Socialist Bubble and my eyes were open to the truth, and the truth is, you will not find any truth watching 60 Minutes.

I think the last time I watched 60 Minutes was at my little house in Michigan after coming home from a job where I had to work Sundays.

That was in 1991. A severe storm shut my power off halfway through the show. Have never been back.

Warm, charismatic, amazing biz sense.

Oprah is also waaaay more friendly with dirty honky-haters than 98% of her fans realize.

Like Obama (”I felt like a partisan resistance member operating from behind enemy lines”), she has the amazing ability to appear utterly innocuous to the people buying her stuff, while actualy despising them.

Obama delighted in and wrote at length about this form of wizardry.

Oprah excels at the “black person who doesn’t have any of that SCARY ANGER”-role that crackers absolutely love, while actually being scarily angry at them (for one good reason along with a bunch of totally made-up ones).

One great step though:

She has stopped having those run-ins with backward-thinking snobby honky merchants at ultra-lux Euro retailers right before her movie releases, magically garnering total media saturation and boosting ticket sale$.

I think she has also started permitting Hawaiians to sometimes drive on her Oprah Highway on Maui, maybe.

I did with 60 minutes what I did with Saturday Night Live:

To me that show was Eddy Murphy and Joe Piscapo.

Whenever I see SNL clips I never recognize the actors and count myself immeasurably the better for it.

Aside from their story on Benghazi I have not watched 60 Minutes for at least 20 years.

Never knew she was on the show but then I dumped 60 Minutes decades ago.

Me, too!

60 minutes survives on a reputation of ratings from decades ago. Over the decades it has morphed into a final resting place for aged journalists who the network had no other room for and they didn’t want to fire. As the stories shifted to anti-Trump anti-Conservative they continued to lose credibility, didn’t they fire Lara Logan who criticized the media for liberal bias? Hiring Oprah is like FOX hiring that Black CNN debate question leaker, a boneheaded move moving the chairs on the titanic.

At one point in Oprah’s young career Oprah I was interviewing Frank Perdue of Perdue chickens. She asked Frank Perdue if anybody had ever told him that he looked like a chicken. Frank Perdue answered back and asked Oprah if anybody has ever said she look like a monkey.

This was back in her old Baltimore news reporting days.

And if you wonder why she was interviewing Frank Perdue it was because she was out of a Baltimore television station and Perdue’s chicken business was on the eastern shore of Maryland.
