As NewsBusters reported a few hours ago, Oprah Winfrey has finally decided to allow former Alaska governor Sarah Palin on her highly-rated daytime talk show.
Shortly after it was announced, People magazine's web article on the matter falsely informed readers that Palin refused Oprah's invitation during the campaign last year (h/t NB reader Christy Ellsworth):
Oh, what a difference a multimillion-dollar book deal makes.
About a year after Sarah Palin famously turned down a campaign season appearance with talk show host – and major Barack Obama supporter – Oprah Winfrey, the former GOP vice presidential candidate has agreed to take her turn on the couch.
Actually, as ABCNews.com reported last September, it was Oprah that refused to have Palin on her show:
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.
"I agree that Sarah Palin would be a fantastic interview, and I would love to have her on after the campaign is over."
Nice reporting, folks. Keep up the good work.

October 20, 2009 - 22:55 ET by bse5150That sure was fast!
So People starts up the Palin attack machine.
Then lies like a good Liberal screed.
Then drops in the Oprah defense as if Oprah is only inviting her on because of her greed in getting money for her new book and Oprah, the billionaire, is somehow above all this.
The lies are coming closer
October 21, 2009 - 02:05 ET by notonmywatchThe lies are coming closer together, and more intense. A big lie is coming.

Oprah didn't invite Sarah last year.
October 20, 2009 - 23:02 ET by CO2MakerBut Sarah probably wouldn't have accepted, so there's truthiness to the People-y story. Just because Rush didn't say those things doesn't mean he couldn't have if he wanted to. Same with Sarah, she coulda turned Oprah down if Oprah didn't turn her down. See whut I'm sayin'?
Yes. People will correct
October 20, 2009 - 23:12 ET by JakeMoYes. People will correct the error once the seed they've planted has taken root. They want to give the impression that Palin 'refused' to go on Oprah because, as everyone should know, Palin is a racist.
Why wouldn't Palin have accepted?
October 21, 2009 - 07:06 ET by mom_roxWhy wouldn't Sarah have gone on her show last year? It seems that every politician wants to go on Oprah's show.

October 21, 2009 - 08:36 ET by SouthJersey1953How do you know that Sarah wouldn't have accepted? I think she would have gone on Oprah. Typical lib talk. It doesn't matter what the truth is, let's play the what-if, make-believe game.
[paraphrasing CO2Maker] "Just because someone didn't say something doesn't mean that he didn't think it"......where is there ANY logic in that statement?
Just because CO2Maker didn't say that he plans to [pick anything] doesn't mean he isn't planning it. (see how silly that sounds?)

To Sell Books
October 21, 2009 - 10:15 ET by Secret ConservativeSarah Palin is going on Oprah's show to sell her book. Period. I would like to see her boycott Oprah because of Oprah only using her show to promote Obama last year, but I imagine Palin's publisher believes it's important to kiss and make up with Oprah.
But on the upside, since this is really a desperate ploy on Oprah's part to boost her sagging ratings, she will have to make nice with Palin. Last year when it was all Obama all the time with Oprah and she snubbed Palin, she lost a LOT of conservative female viewers. They will likely tune in on Nov. 16th to see Sarah. If she's snarky, Oprah will lose those viewers forever.
I haven't watched Oprah in many, many years (ever since she decided to deify herself - how'd THAT work out Oprah?), but I did tune in for one day of the Whitney Houston interview. What I saw was Oprah trying desperately to rehabilitate the image of a crack addict - who appears to have fried her brain over the last 10 years. It was sad to watch. I may tune in the see Sarah Palin, but Oprah better not channel Katie Couric and Charlie Gibson.
I totally agree with you WHY
October 21, 2009 - 16:17 ET by countryfirstI totally agree with you WHY please if someone has a line to sarah tell her not to do this, Opra is an evil bitch , who will do everything in her power to destroy sarah, this has the backing of the WH, I am so upset that sarah has agreed to this BIG MISTAKE, has sarah forgotton how opra talked about her during the campaign,also a lot of people don't watch her sick show anymore, go on fox , at least they are not out to destroy you sarah
First of all, she needs lots
October 21, 2009 - 17:16 ET by Mitchell BlattFirst of all, she needs lots of media exposure to sell her book.
Oh, I know, she can stop trying to make her book for profit and just do it for public interest! Yeah, how's that for a capitalist idea?
She even needs to get media attention if she wants to resusitate her political career.

EPIC FAIL!
I can't wait for the show.
(And trust me, Oprah is trying to figure out now...and until the day of taping....how she's not going to look like a WATER BUFFALO next to Sarah Palin.) **cue evil laughing**
I hope he fails, too.
Blonde, Do ya think, the Big O will do a one on one?
October 20, 2009 - 23:57 ET by upcountrywaterIf the show goes on it will be like the view, packed with blathering lefties.
The hour show will be divided up into chunks. 20 min commericals, 20 minutes of the O lecturing, 10 minutes of interruptions, 10 minutes of boos from the O groupies.
Sarah, will not be able to finish a sentence.
Now if Sarah can do a one on one...( MUST AGREE TO THAT BEFORE THE SHOW STARTS) then that would be GREAT!
Trust, but verify.

Oprah doesn't do tough interviews
October 20, 2009 - 23:40 ET by CO2MakerAnd she doesn't do snarky or gotcha. (That's the Viewgina Monologues.)
It'll be two women talking about relationship things, about how the campaign felt, about Trig, about her daughter's pregnancy and dork of an ex, about why she (Sarah) felt she had to quit the governership so she could defend all those lawsuits about abuse of power, etc.
Sarah and Oprah...This is NOT a good idea...
October 20, 2009 - 23:53 ET by PrairieSkyAfter the way that Oprah treated her back during the campaign, if I were Sarah, I'd tell her to drop dead if she came to me with an invite to appear on her show. I can't help but think that the knives will be out for Sarah during this "interview" which will likely turn into more of an interrogation than an interview. Oprah is a close Obama-buddy, so I don't trust her any further than I could throw her. Granted, Sarah can think and talk circles around Oprah, but I still can't help think that she will be walking into a situation that will turn out to be a set-up, and that she has no control over.
We'll see what happens I suppose, but I don't get a warm fuzzy about this...

October 21, 2009 - 10:03 ET by PrairieSkywhat I said...I never said that Sarah "can't handle" Oprah...Far from it...That's a ridiculous premise.
What I said was that Sarah can think and talk circles around Oprah...Oprah is no match, on any level, for Sarah. My point was that I question why Sarah would bother putting herself in a situation to possibly be attacked and/or ambushed by a known Obamaton, just to promote her already hugely successful book (which I have pre-ordered and can't wait to read, btw). I don't see the upside for Sarah to walk into the lion's den for that reason. What's the point?

Like her answer to what newspapers she reads wasn't very good and her answer to what SC cases she didn't like wasn't very good and her answer about the bailout wasn't very good:

Shoring up our economy and putting it back on the right track.

We don't really expect too
October 21, 2009 - 05:59 ET by motherbeltWe don't really expect too much from People. At least they admit they are about entertainment, not hard news.
I can just picture Newsweek giving Palin an "up" arrow for finally getting on the show. Like they gave Queen Elizabeth one when she got to meet "the new royalty" (Michelle Obama).
Time wasn't far behind in the Swooning Stakes.
And that's the shame of it.
We've been warned about he
October 21, 2009 - 02:19 ET by RR GOPWe've been warned about he debilitating effects on the mind of the boob tube since at least the '50s. Early on the Left saw it as a good thing and a key to mind control...or whatever.
Vietnam brought the war into our homes and helped get our forces out so that the DU's/WU's communist buds could take over and kill the counter-revolutionaries at will, or at the very least get their "minds right" in "re-education camps" (anyone remember those? Yes, the MSM did report on those once upon a time.)
I vividly remember the plethora of Leftist social-consciousness TV specials of the 1970s. Not always bad programs in themselves, but also back then they were willing to (at least for profit if not personal convictions) show Christmas programming and promote Christian values. For every M*A*S*H and All in the Family we had a show like The Waltons and Little House on the Prairie.
Since the '80s all we get are deliciously trashy soap operas, cynicism, shows about how "real families" are, dumpy, smart-a$$ housewives, cheating housewives, smart-a$$ cartoon characters and the like, semi-scripted reality shows, gay-is-great shows...oh, and a healthy dose of potty humor that Libtard wise guys use in place of creativity.
And of course, the talk show phenomenon. Given the weakness of the self-important TV news bureaus, these have pretty much replaced the Cronkite wannabes as the main sources of "news" and social consciousness. Of course, when a Glenn Beck engages in this format...it's, well, just wrong!

October 21, 2009 - 05:16 ET by Red Jeep“When television is good, nothing—not the theater, not the magazines or newspapers—nothing is better. But when television is bad, nothing is worse. I invite you to sit down in front of your television set when your station goes on the air and stay there without a book, magazine, newspaper, profit and loss sheet or rating book to distract you—and keep your eyes glued to that set until the station signs off. I can assure you that you will observe a vast wasteland.” Newton R. Minow, May 9, 1961
I think that statement from 1961 just gets truer and truer. I don’t watch TV. I listen to it as I do other things.
Oprah needs a ratings boost so it makes sense to have Sarah Palin on who must be setting a record for sales of an unpublished book. Despite all the media attention Oprah gets her show is watched by only 2% of America now.
Can't blame this one
October 21, 2009 - 05:06 ET by HockeyKidCan't blame this one entirely on People's crack "reporters". According to the People article's background link, Oprah previously made the statement,
"Maybe she'll talk to me now that she has a book deal."

Part 2 of the story: After the Election
October 21, 2009 - 07:19 ET by mom_roxPeople Magazine is correct. I had forgotten that post-election, Oprah whined about not getting an interview with Sarah Palin after the election. (now the fuzzy memory is clearing).
~~save your tea, dump congress~~
Did Oprah actually INVITE
October 21, 2009 - 07:28 ET by motherbeltDid Oprah actually INVITE Palin on after the election?
By that, I mean, have someone on her staff call her, after the election and ask her to come on?
Or did she just go by her "I'll be happy to have her on after the election" comment during the campaign, and expect Palin to come knocking on her door?
mb, I'll assume yes
October 21, 2009 - 07:52 ET by mom_roxAccording to the NB links, Oprah said "I went and tried to talk to Sarah Palin...". I don't know the specifics, but I'll assume that someone on her staff was trying to book her.
I'm hoping that Oprah will ask Sarah about the 'death panels' comment, so Sarah can inform Oprah and her audience about some of the non-reported details of ObamaCare.

October 21, 2009 - 07:24 ET by jdhawkWhat does the "O" use to put on her makeup with, a hand trowel? It is either that or there is one helleva PhotoShop master doing those photos, because she looks nothing like that in person. Besides, her fat ass is wider than the other "O".
I have yet to see what peopel see in her . . . She is the female Michael Jackson less the child molestation. Somehow, she too is trying to look white. Go figure . . .
On the other hand, Governor Palin is the "bomb!" I heard her speak in NC not long ago. She is great - a real conservative. We need a lot more like her in the Republican party.
More to the story
October 21, 2009 - 08:39 ET by jbeeebApparently Palin did turn down Oprah AFTER the election:

Basically the story says that Palin was invited to come on and talk about the campaign and the loss and rejected Oprah in favor of Greta, Matt Lauer and some other outlets.

I also saw your other thread with the Oprah Sarah Palin haters, what the bunch of whiners.

October 21, 2009 - 10:30 ET by Noel Sheppardshawn,
Well, the question now is who wins and who loses if she goes on. If Palin was currently the Vice President, Oprah would win with her appearance. That I would be against because of Oprah's boycott in September.
However, Palin now is in the middle of a big makeover. She's trying to redefine her image for some political move in the future. Her appearance now likely is a benefit to her, and as you can see from the fan-mail, not a positive to Oprah. As such, I'm not necessarily against this now because Palin likely has nothing to lose and a lot to win. ns
I am still at a complete loss...
October 21, 2009 - 09:15 ET by stage9Can someone help me out here? I have casually followed Palin over the last couple of years since she's come into the spotlight, and I've watched the media lambast her, but for the life of me I'm failing to understand why. Has she done something in her former life that I'm just unaware of? I mean, from what I've ever seen of her, she's just a normal, everyday woman with a family, a love for her state and country and just so happens to have a political career.
Yet, everytime I hear liberals describe her, you'd think she was Jezebel reincarnated. They really hate this woman.
I mean I can understand their venom towards Bush. Liberals don't like war or national defense. So, because Bush ordered our troops into Iraq, the liberals hate him. That at least makes logical sense. (I disagree with it, but at least it makes sense).
But with Sarah Palin, it's different. What is it that she has done that is so heinous exactly? I'm asking sincerely, because I feel like I'm missing something here.
Can someone help me out?

Right, and liberals hate most of America.
No, but seriously, a lot of it has to do with her gender, and we have a few things going on here:
1.) The media as a whole is somewhat sexist, and you saw that to some degree against Hillary, and to an even greater degree against Palin because of her party. Even with the role of women in society, how our society always fixates on their appearance, there were articles about Hillary's pantsuits, articles about Palin's RNC clothes, and, you still see the same thing with the media focusing on Michelle's arms and shoes, etc, but it's in a positive light when they report on her. I'm not advocating radical feminism, but I'm pointing out something, and I don't want to be seen as making a value-based judgment on the regard of this.
2.) Dems want to keep all women and minorities shackled in their party.
Two more possibilities

Why the media hates Palin
October 21, 2009 - 09:49 ET by Blogger Guy00001The media hates Palin because the media is far left. Leftist hate Palin because she was the first political figure in many years to energize conservatives. Bush and McCain are not inspiring at all. They are nothing but warmed-over over-the-hill washed up liberals disguised as Republicans.
Palin inspired people and gave them the idea that there might be hope again in politics.
The left knew that, and immediately started trashing and sliming her.

yeah, but...
October 21, 2009 - 10:03 ET by stage9there's something deeper going on here. When you hear even media liberals describe her, it's like she killed their family dog or something. There's such a disgust for her.
I mean SC Governor Mark Sanford who cheated on his wife and lied to the state isn't even receiving as much hate as she gets when her name is mentioned.
It's a kind of obsessive hatred for the woman. Yet, I have seen nothing to lead me to believe that she is a heinous person.
I have literally sat and watched her on tv trying to analize her words to find something that would justify why liberals might hate her, and I can find nothing.
So, I scratch my head in bewilderment. What gives?

A conservative Republican woman President instead of a progressive Democratic woman President? O, the horror!
That possibility still exists, therefore they need to denigrate her as often and as loudly as they can, so that the sheeple will believe them and not support her [it isn't working].

Women have been the most vicious, too
October 21, 2009 - 10:26 ET by StarAZI used to go to a site called Women on the Web started by some so-called celebs, Lesley Stahl, Whoopi, Liz Smith etc. They had Palin threads all the time to jack their numbers--and these women were hideous about her, their gendermate. It was shocking at first--then disgusting. I heard one Dem precinct leader call her a "bucket of slop" in front of Biden...in front of Biden! I need a nap.
They hate her...
October 21, 2009 - 10:27 ET by Secret Conservative...because they FEAR her. Sarah Palin "came out of nowhere" in the 2008 campaign and captured the hearts and imaginations of the conservatives in America. It was John McCain we couldn't stand to vote for.
Sarah Palin represents everything the political and media "elites" disdain. She's like US. Charlie Gibson looking down his nose at her in his interview was classic, because it absolutely represented, physically, how the liberal elites feel about all of us.
We love her because she is the Mom next door - who happened to get involved in politics because she genuinely wanted to effect change in her community, and then in her state. She's not a power monger. She's REAL. We can relate to her.
But she's not part of "their" world. So the more we love her, the more they hate and fear her and are determined to destroy her.
I've read that you have to have a very thick skin in politics. And the higher up you are in politics, the more visible a target you are for your enemies. The absolute vitriol from the left about Sarah Palin is proof of that.

October 21, 2009 - 10:19 ET by BuffNBoneMy advice to Ms. Palin would be to have a separate video camera (controlled by her peeps) taping all of the proceedings. Sort of an insurance policy. That way if some "creative" editing is done she can have proof of what really happened. If nothing more, the outtakes could be priceless.
