Brokaw falsely suggested Oprah hosted Obama as a presidential candidate

[Joanne98]

Summary: On Meet the Press, citing a New York Post article reporting that Oprah Winfrey will not host Gov. Sarah Palin on her show before the presidential election, Tom Brokaw falsely suggested that Winfrey has hosted Sen. Barack Obama on her show during Obama's campaign for president. However, the Post article Brokaw cited itself reported that Winfrey has not hosted Obama since he began his presidential campaign and that Winfrey said she decided when she endorsed Obama not to use her show "as a platform for any of the candidates."

5. Brokaw is a hack.

8. I say let Palin on the Oprah Show.

That would be festive for Oprah I do believe. Actually, Palin would be a no show or claim scheduling conflict as I seriously doubt she really wants on the show......it's all destructive campaigning in my opinion.

6. that's okay...

Brokaw is a reporter, not a commentator. Therefore it's all good!
