Oprah Claims the Liberal Media is “Under Siege,” Has “Insatiable Dedication to Uncovering Absolute Truth”

Awards season has begun, which means a fresh opportunity for Hollywood and media elites to congratulate themselves.

In the lead-up to the 75th Annual Golden Globe Awards, which aired January 7 on NBC, host Seth Meyers promised a “politically charged” ceremony. Attendees were told to wear black as a fashion statement against sexual abuse and pay inequality, plus a lapel pinsaying, “Time’s Up,” was created as the accessory to sport.

Most of the commentary was about the problems in Hollywood – Harvey Weinstein was labeled “the elephant in the room” and only a couple of veiled shots were taken at President Trump. Meyers made one referencing his own appearance at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. He, along with the rest of the entertainment industry, really wants Oprah Winfrey to run for president. (See NBC’s own Oprah for Our Future President tweet.)

SETH MEYERS: In 2011 I told some jokes about our current president at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, jokes about how he was unqualified to be president. Some have said that night convinced him to run. So, if that’s true, I just want to say, Oprah, you will never be president. You do not have what it takes. And Hanks, where’s Hanks? You will never be vice president. You are too mean and unrelatable. Now we just wait and see.

Meyers also took a shot at Trump while introducing the president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. He described her by asking the audience to “welcome a president who actually is a stable genius.” Oh, brother. I noted she was wearing all red, not the required black attire. Heh.

Hollywood’s Queen of the Universe, Oprah Winfrey, received the 2018 Cecil B. de Mille Award and went into a bit of an alternative universe in her praise of the media. She bemoaned that the media is “under siege” and gushed they have an “insatiable dedication to uncovering absolute truth.” What?


OPRAH: I want to thank the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. We know the press is under siege these days. We also know it’s the insatiable dedication to uncovering the absolute truth that keeps us from turning a blind eye to corruption and to injustice. To tyrants and victims, and secrets and lies. I want to say that I value the press more than ever before as we try to navigate these complicated times, which brings me to this. What I know for sure is that speaking your truth is the most powerful tool we all have.

Where was Ms. Winfrey during eight years of the previous administration when a whole lot of corruption and injustices were taking place, mostly against conservatives? I think “absolute truth” to Oprah and her pals mean the truth as they believe it to be, not actual facts.

  1. Oprah is a very dangerous woman who wants to run for president in 2020. She has started her own religion where she says she is 'one with God' and there is no sin. We must pray very hard for her and ask God to take away satan's power over her and other liberals who want to destroy our nation.
