Media Bias Against Sarah Palin Backfires

Michelle Malkin has the story on how 10,000 US Weekly magazine subscribers have canceled their subscription (so far) because of the issue that hit the stands today.

Seems the publishers of Us Weekly thought they could get away with such an obvious hit job and not be affected by it. They were wrong.

Drudge has a report today of how Oprah Winfrey refuses to invite Sarah Palin to be interviewed on her show, in spite of requests by her viewers and the obvious spike in viewers this would bring, not to mention the high-paying advertisers. Should Winfrey be required to interview Palin? Hell no! That would be a version of the fairness doctrine, which we conservatives oppose. If you can force Winfrey to host politicians she doesn't agree with, you can also force Rush Limbaugh to do the same. Yes, Oprah Winfrey is biased, but she never pretended to be otherwise so I am not offended by her decision.

However, you don't have to watch her show, which has lost many viewers this year due to her politicking for Obama. My wife told me she won't be watching Oprah anymore. She is one of many.

Tread lightly, liberal media, if you wish to avoid alienating half of your readers and viewers.

Financial revenge is the best revenge.
