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

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?

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.

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
