Boyle, Chase RNC Post Three

In the blog, "Oprah says no to Palin, and gets an earful" is an article describing how Oprah declined to have Palin on her show. And many of Oprah's fans are outraged that she won't have her on her show. Since Palin isn't allowed on the show, Palin is calling for Oprah fans to complain on Oprah's website. Even some women in Florida are boycotting her show and cancelling their subscriptions to her magazine. I think that is kind of biased that Oprah won't let a republican on her show, when she backs Obama so strongly.

In another article, "Ratings: McCain has slight edge on Obama" it speaks of the TV ratings for both of the parties' conventions. McCain and Palin's speeches reached 41 million viewers while Obama only had 38.3 million viewers. I, personally feel that these numbers are irrelevant because the difference is so small and i'm sure that there was a lot of the population was busy at the time, but could have read about it later, or even watched the speeches on iTunes.

I personally didn't watch any of the RNC, because I was busy doing homework and i didn't feel the desire to either. Partially, because I won't be able to vote this election but also because i am more interested in the Democratic side of the force.
