CORPORATE MEDIA Mantra - Oprah vs. Bill Clinton cancel each other out.
Edited on Tue Nov-27-07 09:28 PM by FrenchieCat
The media doesn't like losing control....and so "they" tell us that these two stars won't make a bit of a difference in the larger scheme of things. the media is going to over-report on Oprah and Bill in order to dilute any difference these two "stars" might make for the candidate they each support....that way, it will be what the Corporate media says that will matter, not so much Bill or Oprah.

And so the Hillary vs. Obama battle as reported by the media goes on....which means, Iowa will go to someone else, which is all the Corporate media really wants anyways. Iowans are not about to do as the media dictates.....and I believe that the media is making the race chiefly ONLY about Hillary vs. Obama knowing purposefullyy Iowans' sense of independence.

At the end of the day, the corporate media wants neither Hillary or Obama.

1. Anyone who thinks that Oprah won't make a difference is nuts.
She will have an impact.

3. There are TONS of folks who aren't crazy about Bill and Oprah that still vote
their influence is 5 out of every 100 people.

trust me on this, the oprah factor has nothing to do with who is going to win.

and if you want some fun, visit this link,

"Do not mess with oprah"

it's a pretty jaded song about oprah but pretty accurate..

4. most gay folks have long since written of a CLINTON as
a forked tongue

promise the world deliver nothing

for the gay community.

10-20% of the vote we, are the deciding factor of the next election,
not the friggin Fringe Christians
or some stupid bored oprah watching housewives...

7. If that were true than the Oprah endorsement would already be paying benefits for Obama.

9. Put them in the ring - two falls out of three
that's the way to pick a president.
