MTM an extreme conservative


In a March 22 Parade magazine interview, MTM says that she watches "a lot of Fox News", "likes Charles Krauthhammer and Bill O'Reilly", and "would have" campaigned for McCain if asked. She's entitled to her opinions, of course, but...BILL O'REILLY?!? Bill O'Reilly is a mean, smug, far right-wing commentator, full of venom and hate. If that's who she likes, then the real MTM is far from the thoughtful, likable image she projects. So much for her past support for women's rights and stem-cell research. She would "campaign for" those opposed to both. I used to like Mary Tyler Moore, but I don't anymore (and I'm entitled to my opinion too).

Because she made a living from projecting a light-hearted pleasant persona she was bascially selling us a lie, a bit like if you went to your doctor for cold and decided he wanted to treat you for measles.

'Well I've got two words for you - STFU'
