Remember earlier today, when Jim Treacher predicted that the media would do a post-Trump about-face and “move on to kissing President Oprah’s ass”?
Did he call it, or did he call it? Exhibit A: CNN political analyst April Ryan.
If @Oprah ran for president in 2020, she is every person. She has been poor & now rich. She is also a self made Billionaire. She has a grasp of the issues as she used to cover local politics. She can articulate any issue and she has mass appeal beyond race & gender.

Isn’t that special?
"She can articulate any issue," lmao, yeah I bet Oprah has devoted a lot of thought to the U.S.-Canada Softwood Lumber Agreement

"She has a grasp of the issues as she used to cover local politics."
When? 30 years ago?
You're embarrassing yourself. https://t.co/RexW5Vpw5B

Embarrassing herself — and showing her true colors:
I find it a bit unseemly for a White House correspondent to openly advocate for a possible Trump challenger like this https://t.co/bhBgR9Awsb
— Alex Griswold (@HashtagGriswold) January 8, 2018
That’s just how she rolls.
Unseemly and completely expected https://t.co/f4Ec8XmdGD

The idea of mainstream media bias continues to be an appalling myth. It is fiction https://t.co/phKT1YQKTo

They don't even feel the need to pretend anymore.

Don't you have any self-respect as a journalist?

"Journalism"
God help us….
— Stretford Ender (@OTR_IV) January 8, 2018
The same journalists who cried foul when Trump won are working overtime to usher in a Democratic Party version. Great job, media.
Stop. This is patently ridiculous and you should know better. Shame on you.
The Presidency is not a fucking tv show. Wake up.
I thought Trump was an anomaly but I see now that America has a deep sickness.

No more "entertainment candidates" please.
Can we get back to real life???
— Walter Polk Jr (@walterpolkjr) January 8, 2018
It seems this is real life now, unfortunately.
Just because you like someone or respect them,
doesn’t mean they should be president.
Come on people. Have we become a true
idiocracy. Popularity isn’t a prerequisite for a job
this important
