"WTF, Oprah?"

Rebecca Traister watched Friday's show:

Weirdest, though, was that while Winfrey seemed perfectly willing to go after Palin for her coiffure, she didn't challenge her when she described her new Fox job as an opportunity to get back to the "who, what, when, where and why of reporting, just stating the facts, gathering the information, providing it to the viewers and letting them decide what their opinion would be ... ratcheting back to the simplicity of what journalism should be about." Instead of pointing out that Fox News was probably airing a story about how un-American it was for the Obamas to keep a Portuguese water dog in the White House or something, Oprah just said, "Absolutely."

I give up. (Except you know I haven't.)
