the cruelty of oprah

I always thought Oprah Winfrey was a cruel woman.
But her genial hosting last week of the family of a psychotic murdering satanist on her chat show represents perhaps the grim nadir of her abysmal lack of humanity.
Oprah gave a warm welcome to the parents and sisters of deranged killer Amanda Knox asking them pattycake questions about their feelings and about how difficult it must be for them to be parted from their sister Amanda.
Let me point out what Oprah Winfrey failed to make clear.
Amanda Knox is a useless merciless murdering bitch.
Oprah didn't dwell over much on the reasons for the Knox family being parted from the daughter they so abjectly failed to instil with even a vestige of basic human virtue.
Oprah didn't worry too much about just what Amanda Knox had done to deserve her incarceration.
Oprah doesn't like to dwell on trifles.
Amanda Knox and her accomplices tortured, violated and then slaughtered a girl called Meredith Kirchner in Italy.
They did so merely to entertain themselves.
An Italian court has rightly convicted them of the crime.
The only injustice in the sentencing was its leniency.
Amanda Knox and her accomplices should have been executed of course.
Since the conviction, a most improbable level of influence has emerged on the part of the Knox family over the media.
On the night that the psychotic killer Amanda Knox was convicted of murder, nay within minutes of her conviction, the editor of a high society magazine was on CNN telling the world that the conviction was unsound.
A Washington Congress woman called Maria Cantwell also stepped forward to promote the erroneous view that the conviction arose from anti American bias among Italians.
Even United States Secretary Of State Hilary Clinton's office issued a statement that they were keeping an eye on events.
Within minutes of the conviction.
Foxy Knoxy indeed.
That's some access to power for the family of a turgid little satanistic murderess called Amanda Knox.
Friends in high places, eh.
Newspapers throughout the world carried interviews with the family of this lousy torturing murderess Amanda Knox, where the Knox family mendaciously claimed to know she was innocent.
All this hypocritical media cant was clothed in a veneer of false humanitarianism.
There was precious little coverage of the family of Meredith Kirchner and precious few tears for their loss.
I hadn't seen such a blatent manipulation of power since a little girl called Jon Benet Ramsey was murdered in the basement of her family home and her billionaire parents used high priced lawyers to avoid answering police questions.
Jon Benet's mother has since conveniently died.
Her father continues to hide in plain sight.
Now we have the Knox Family Circus fielding pattycake questions on the Oprah Winfrey Show.
It's positively obscene.
Oprah Winfrey has been getting away with it for years.
But nobody gets away with it forever.
I am firmly convinced that someday even Oprah will answer to a higher power.
Not to the Knox family.
Not to satan.
To a higher power Oprah.
You'll find out when the time comes.

Well said, James. At her best, Oprah has always seemed a phony to me. I have never liked her.

Wretched. I've always found it remarkable that she will go after the weak and innocent, but coddle the guilty.

Several years ago, she interviewed a Canadian family that was trying to forgive the mother. The mother had been convicted of embezzling children's funds while a secretary at a parochial school. During the trial, her initially supportive family found out that she had wiped out their life's savings, including a college-aged son's university account, and left them penniless.

Oprah asked her, "What have you lost?" And was sympathetic when the woman said, "My self-esteem."

On the other hand, she hounded a woman named Carol who looked professional and well-put-together. Carol's crime? The inside of her townhouse was full of squalorous filth because she had been filled with indecision after her husband left her and a would-be client assaulted her, robbed her, and amputated her pinkie during her escape attempt. Carol was a "fraud" and "living a lie."

Recently my favorite sisters, the Dominican Sisters of Mary Mother of the Eucharist, appeared on her show and they seemed to appeal to her better side. (I have seen clips.) But the emphasis was on deprivation and, of course, sex. The other half of the show was dedicated to a modern geisha.
