CBS Devotes 28 Minutes to Possible 2020 Candidate Oprah Winfrey

[See NewsBusters for more.] Over the span of just three days, CBS This Morning devoted a whopping 28 minutes and 44 seconds to promoting possible 2020 candidate Oprah Winfrey. Co-host Gayle King (a Democratic donor) admitted in February that she is pushing her good friend Winfrey (a Democratic donor) to run for president. The talk show host appeared on the Tuesday, Thursday and Friday This Morning to tout her new book club selection and to discuss the new Oprah exhibit at the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History. In February, CBS gave Winfrey a platform to question voters on Donald Trump’s mental illness. On June 5, however, the topic was Oprah herself. Co-host John Dickerson marveled: “Gorgeous though she is, Oprah Winfrey always understood the impact that she and her groundbreaking talk show had on this country.”
