NBC slammed for tweet endorsing Oprah as president
NY POST ^ | January 8, 2018 | Mark Moore

Despite buzz generated by the speculation that Oprah Winfrey may mount a presidential run, NBC on Sunday appeared it was already on board when the network called her “OUR future president” in a tweet.

On Monday, NBC removed the tweet and blamed a “third party agency” for sending it out.

“Yesterday a tweet about the Golden Globes and Oprah Winfrey was sent by a third party agency for NBC Entertainment in real time during the broadcast,” NBC said in a clarifying Twitter post. “It is in reference to a joke made during the monologue and not meant to be a political statement. We have since removed the tweet. ”

During Sunday’s Golden Globes, host Seth Meyers recalled how in 2011 he advised Donald Trump never to run for president and then joked: “I just want to say: Oprah, you will never be president.”

For some, NBC’s tweet wasn’t a laughing matter.

President Trump’s son Donald Jr. tweeted that NBC revealed the media bias against his father.

“In case anyone had any doubts about where the media stands this should take care of it. The bias against @realDonaldTrump is now so obvious they have simply given up hiding it,” he wrote on Twitter Monday morning.

At least they are open about being liberals. And not Americans.

Only the left would say this crap a day after it was announced black unemployment has reached a record low. Am I crazy, or am I the only one who sees the extreme racism in that? Blacks have jobs - Oh that cannot happen! Get this guy out of the white house and install Oprah.

The very DAY that Mr. Trump announced his candidacy, he stated (flippantly) that Oprah would be a GREAT running mate for him.

And liberal media heads EXPLODED! NOW? They WANT her as President?

You can’t make this shitte up!

*SNORT*

Oprah is the perfect Liberal Billionair Communist Democrat candidate. She also has some very cult-like religious beliefs.

That’s going to make excellent anti-Oprah for President commercials! :)

This is disgusting.

I turned off Rush because he wouldn’t stop talking about this garbage, and now I’ve tuned back in and Hannity is blabbering on how much he likes Oprah.

Isn’t it bad enough that the infantile left fantasizes about this? Why does the conservative media have to dwell on this crap as well?

Oprah led a colorful life before stardom. Sarah Palin was destroyed for being a strong woman.............let’s see if Oprah gets the same treatment.

Naaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh - never happen!!!!

Look at it this way, at least it pretty much puts Wolff’s book on the backburner.

The left has to do something, Fauxcohontas isn’t gonna take them anywhere and who knows what the recent Trump EO (,https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RQaClsQlWnI ) will do to the current swamp dwellers when all is said and done.

Oprah, as an rich before politics “outsider” (of sorts), may not be what they want though. Yes, she’s progressive and all that but they need someone who needs them to win and stay or she may just decide to continue Trump’s anti-corruption policies.

"Liberal Billionaire"

Sounds like an oxymoron.

But then again, they are the biggest hypocrites on the planet.

Of course she did ... they ALL did.

The left has been caught not caring about sexual harassment and so we should expect them to virtue signal till the cows come home.

If you want to know where the heart of the left is on sexual harassment look no further than an old OP by Gloria Steinem where she basically said that being on the right side of the abortion issue should merit Clinton getting a few free gropes.
