Some of you are comparing people who have purely entertainment talk shows, where they rarely if ever get into politics, with Rush Limbaugh.
Rush tells his followers who to vote for, what to call their senators and chant, where to protest, when to jump, and how high. He spreads political propaganda which his followers then repeat over and over again, even on boards like this one.
Oprah does not tell people who to vote for or try to brainwash them into believing everything some political leader tells them. Rush is a mouthpiece for the right wing political machine. Oprah is an entertainer who talks about meaningless nonsense all day.
Right wingers, with Rush, CNN, Fox, and talk radio and all the rest have the machinery in place to easily brainwash people who can't think for themselves.
Anyone who thinks that the current media in the U.S. is not biased to the right is just falling for the very propaganda we're talking about.
