The Oprah Factor

Should Oprah have Sarah Palin on her show?

Oprah Winfrey this year did something she has never done before. She used her celebrity status to promote Obama as a presidential candidate. Oprah's support undoubtedly brought him incredible exposure.

Todays controversy surrounds whether or not Oprah should have Sarah Palin on her syndicated show. She's had Obama on it, hasn't she?

Obviously, Oprah doesn't support McCain/Palin. But as the person with the strongest reach to women in America, is it her responsibility to her audience to give Palin the platform?

Is Obama on The O'Reilly Factor a parallel example?
