Debbie Schlussel: HOprah Watch: Today, Oprah Exploits the Children of 9/11
**** UPDATE #2: BINGO! HOprah talks about "forgivenes" with one of the 9/11 kids. Don't say I didn't tell you so. She's so predictable. ****
**** UPDATE: Forgot to mention, but I bet HOprah continues in her tradition of not mentioning that the terrorists were Muslim. ****
Today, on her nationally syndicated daytime talk show, Oprah Winfrey will feature--actually, exploit--the children of 9/11 victims. It's beyond tacky. It's inappropriate. These kids shouldn't be watching her show . . . and they certainly shouldn't be on it.
It's disgusting. But, hey, it's Oprah's new season, and she needed something really spectacular for her second show of the season. Who cares about the kids when ratings are at stake?
Here's what I predict will be part of the content:
Oprah will discuss forgiveness--a big theme of hers, especially when it comes to Islamic terrorists (whose religion she'll never mention)--and either urge the kids to forgive those who took their parents or congratulate them for already having done so.
As I've noted, Oprah has a history of whitewashing--or refusing to mention altogether--Islamic terrorism. As I've also noted, right after the attacks, she did a series of shows, "Islam 101," that were pure propaganda, the same old "Islam is peace" BS you'd expect from her.
Don't expect this show, six years after the attacks, to be any different . . . except worse.
Don't forget: There are many reasons why Oprah Sucks.
