I agree on Fox etc. as all that is driven by interests as well. But the main problem is Oprah owns her own channel.
It would be like Donald Trump openly supporting mr X and spending airtime on Trump inc TV to promote his personal views.
Imagine Bill Gates making little popup banners promoting Hillary everytime you boot your computer.

So basically the right way would be to have debates with all candicates, hosts don't push their own believes and let the people make their own choice without trying to influence them, that's only the candidates role.

Look who cares. You need to look at from a bigger picture. America you have some really serious issues going on. Very serious.The war is a mess, your nearly in recession your healthcare is messed up, beyond messed up ,New orleans is still a disaster zone.Its just craziness.I dont think the world has seen anything like this. Your reputation as a nation needs dire repair. I don't think this is the time for telling other Americans to not participate in the political process

Yes? and so people need to make the proper vote for the proper candidate to do something about that mess.
In your view the political process is about celebs and network owners pushing forward the candidates they endorse for whatever reasons?

If you can't make a concious decision about what candidate best suits your needs as an individual then you shouldn't be voting at all. If people are voting for a specific candidate based on what are celebs are supporting them those are the people who are not thinking about the best interest of your country.

Oprah went on the road with Obama at her own private time to endorse him.

Oprah invited Obama before he announced his candidacy to talk about his book.

remain blessed.

Yes and the fact that you and many more know this says it all :)
Anyways, I think I made my point, you can agree or disagree but things won't change anyways. Fact remains it's a very bad situation you won't see this bad anywhere else in the world

So let me get this straight! Oprah is endorsing Obama, and she can say "Obama Rock"s for example on the Jay Leno show, but Not on her own Show? Am I right in my understanding? Why can't she talk about Obama on her show? She know's that millions of people in America watch her show, probably more than watches Leno. Please tell me your reasoning behind the she can't talk about Obama during HER OWN SHOW!! Please Edjumacate me!!!!!!

Very simply she will only be at Jay Leno once just like the rest of the celebs who endorse anyone, so you get a fair balance.
As she has her own show she decides what to show, who to invite, what to tell and more important what not to tell so you get a very biassed image of Obama.
example: Obama wants free healthcare for everyone!! crowd cheers...but hey wait a minute, how is he going to pay for that?
If she wants to go political the right way she should host a debate in her show, let the others have their say.

Has Oprah discussed the candidates on her show? Did she discuss Obama's candidacy in her show? I am trying to understand the complaints against Oprah with regards to her network?

remain blessed.

You're very right, no Fox shouldn't be so obvious, but Fox laughs at my favorite so I am anti fox as much as any democrat.
Comedy central and who:)? The media controls politics and that is wrong, whether you are Oprah, or Fox, or Bill Gates.
If you'd be a foc viewer, the war in Iraw is glorious and everyone around the world supports it, or if they don't they must be French. If you watch Oprah Obama is the savior, if you watch Comedy Central whoever you mentioned is the best.
Most/some people are easily influenced and don't look beyond, if Oprah says Obama rock hey Oprah is great, I love her show, she must be right, so

A lets vote Obama and YES THAT HAPPENS, how sad is that?
B oh Obama yes oh yes I want free healthcare, voteee.
C Oh Oprah doesnt like Hillary/mccain/Kuchinich, voteee Obama

This discussion was light, but you lost me when you started discussing the Natalie Holloway case in a very negative disparaging way. May her soul rest in peace.

I need time off.
remain blessed.

Obama's church is a black extremist church whose first allegiance is to Africa---That is a fact. Google or use any search engine and research Barack Obama's church and when you find the tucc, read the about us page. Shameful for a person running for President.
