We talk to Friends and associates and get miss cued opinions on many of these things , just look at how many differing view points we see on this site alone and how many differing takes on any one given topic we can come up with , Not a one of us and Not a one of these talking heads can get the complete picture to what is actually going on and it is up to each and every individual to do the homework to get a formulated picture on who You decide to vote for . No one should make their decision based on what a talking head has to say or what a person in the media might have to say , many of the folks on these shows are biased in one way or another and are following a script anyway.

We are a nation of individuals , we are at a point in history where outlets for information is readily available to all , sometimes it takes perseverance to look and engage ones self to look in many directions and piece together from multiple sources and differing view points a glimmer of what the bigger picture actually is instead of relying on just a few sources that are in many cases biased.

This is one of the things that politico's detest the most it does not matter what side of the isle they are on they detest that you and I the We The People of this country are able to gather information about them and see through the damage that they would like to inflict on us , and the bad decisions they make in office. We are able in this information age to review any and all decision they make effecting us and that does not sit well with them , that is one reason they would like to impose the " Fairness Doctrine" , or try to regulate any other form of free access to information say by regulating the INTERNET , we are seeing a back lash against the MSM for these very reasons they have fallen into the tank of only covering what they are told to leaving many unable to actually see what the bigger picture to it all might be , many of these "news" outlets are owned by a few people or a few corporations and reflect it in the coverage of what is actually going on in the world , they fear a informed populace , and they detest alternative outlets , but it is up to all of us to inform ourselves the best posible way to find what is in the middle of what we might gather from the various sources to come up with the best desision for ourselves and for this great country.

Information is the currency of democracy.

I apologize for going off the Oprah topic but it does relate , she is just a talking head that is biased in one dirrection and if anyone can't see that they need glasses.
She's another one of those celebs who gives money to help the other poor countries. Why doesn't she help the homeless and the poor in Chicago? And what about all the homeless people in the rest of the US who should be helped out, but no, she'd rather start a school for girls in Africa. Way to go O!

On many of the shows the Guest gets to review and approve all the questions asked before they agree to appear. The host can't ask them questions off the cuff, they have to agree to a script. You have probably seen guests get up and leave when off the script comments and questions are made by the host.

That God the Hate America First Community Organizer has people liek you to run out and apoligize for him.

So what about Obama throwing out the 12,000 U.S. Flags in the garbage.

Can you dig up a quick apoligy for us? Otherwise we may have proof of how much Obama hates the USA.

he is dead right on every other detail....Guess he forgot the protocol for the American Flag....

Oprah was made a billionaire by people like Palin, so , this kind of shows her true colors.

10-4 Bubba74, Oprah is a phony, just following ego and money. She has built a huge empire on the backs of the Sarah Palins of the world, creating a huge following of similar women, and she is now in a corner. She has to walk a fine line between her ideology and her business.
