HOprah Watch: Oprah Made Up Rape Story, Has Nickname “Negro” (From BFF Gayle)
The biggest story in the mainstream media about “Oprah: A Biography

And don’t think Oprah’s the only one. ABC News put the kabosh on a “20/20” story by Geraldo Rivera because then-ABC News Prez Roone Arledge was friends with the widow of its subject, Robert F. Kennedy (the story was about his affairs with Marilyn Monroe and others). But since Arledge wasn’t “friends” with anyone Israeli, his network never spared other objects of his operation’s news “reporting,” like Israel, conservatives, etc.
The same goes for the mainstream conservative media. FOX News regularly protects its friends. You won’t ever see a thing on the network about certain allegations regarding Sean Hannity, while you saw plenty of the same about that of John Edwards before it was proven true. You’ll hear nothing about the oodles of money Hannity’s Freedom Concerts operation makes for his friends and apparently himself–not the wounded and fallen soldiers’ kids, like he claims. And he and the other FOX News personalities and anchors won’t cover certain stories about China or Prince Al-Waleed Bin Talal, etc. Rupert Murdoch has interests to protect, just like Oprah’s friends do.
Back to the Kelley Oprah book. Kelley isn’t the most credible writer in the world, but she uses the right words to avoid lawsuits. She wrote that Nancy Reagan had “long lunches” with Frank Sinatra in the Reagan White House. No one’s gonna sue over lunches, but she clearly meant to imply “long” something else. To me, her allegations about Oprah’s personal life aren’t that important. More important is what’s out in the open: Oprah’s horribly influential, negative effect on American society and the culture war–her attacks on men, marriage, Israel, etc.; her promotion of Muslims, Islamic terrorism, vibrators and sex toys for young girls, and other similarly sickening fare.
Still, I find some of the allegations in the Kelley book interesting: Oprah’s made up, phony baloney, down-with-the-struggle, “I was raped as a child” story. Then, there are Oprah and her likely gay lover Gayle’s nicknames for each other, which would never be tolerated from the rest of us. Gayle is “Blackie.” Oprah is “Negro.”
This is the prism through which you should view anything Oprah-esque:
Winfrey confidante and author Erica Jong adds: “I would not be surprised if Oprah is gay. If she is, she is. It certainly fits.”
Names Winfrey and King affectionately call each other, revealed on a Valentine’s Day segment titled ‘Girlfriends’:
•”Oprah was ‘Negro,’ Gayle was ‘Blackie,’ ” Kelley writes.
Is boyfriend Stedman Graham just a front, ‘camouflage’? . . .
•”Stedman is probably gay or neutral, but they have a bond. … Her being gay would be the right reaction to the sexual abuse she says she’s suffered and the mistrust she’s always had of men,” Winfrey’s longtime friend Jong says.
I’m guessing Erica Jong won’t be invited to Oprah’s WNBA viewing and sensible shoes party, this year.
More:
Kelley spent three days in Winfrey’s hometown, Kosciusko, Miss., chatting up Katharine Esters, Winfrey’s cousin who goes by “Aunt” Katharine, then talked to Vernon Winfrey in his Nashville barbershop. (He raised Oprah early on but says he’s not her father.)
Neither believes Winfrey’s stories about sexual abuse in her youth. (Winfrey says she was “continually molested” from age 9 until 14, and she did give birth to a baby boy at 15 — her uncle was suspected of being the father.)
“I don’t believe a bit of it,” Esters told Kelley. “No one in the family believes her stories (of sexual abuse) but now that she’s so rich and powerful everyone is afraid to contradict her.”
Kelley says she found that many of the stories Winfrey has told over the years may be “elaborated.”
“I tried to give both sides,” Kelley says. “Oprah’s stories are colorful and a bit over the top. Maybe they’re just little exaggerations.”
“Little exaggerations”? More like big lies. Kinda like her vapid daytime talk show, which is eaten up whole by so many gullible American women.

I’ve been reading a lot of stuff about this book in the last cpl of days, including your take on it, Debbie. Ultimately, I don’t care what or who Oprah does in her private life – accent on keeping private! But I do care about, in addition to having to worry about political bias in the media, we also have to worry about them being intimidated into ignoring or skipping over things by various people. So, my question to you is – what kind of “sanctions” can the public (regardless of political leanings) employ to counteract this bullying? Obviously it has to be severe ECONOMIC sanctions. Money talks, and…well, you know..
