Gayle King accused of calling in a favor from her bestie Oprah Winfrey to help her upstage 60 Minutes with her Barack Obama interview...
From OK Magazine
“Obama literally did dozens of interviews on November 10, and every single one of them were embargoed until after 60 Minutes aired on Sunday, except for Gayle King’s interview,” sources tell OK!.
“60 Minutes has always given out soundbites and clips from its exclusives to entice viewers to tune-in to their Sunday night’s show, but Gayle wanted her own interview despite being on the same network — and she got it,” sources add.
“Gayle’s best friend is Oprah, and Oprah is also best friends with Barack and Michelle Obama, this isn’t a coincidence. No one is saying Gayle isn’t an excellent journalist, what they are saying is that the interview with President Obama should have gone to 60 Minutes first. There is a lot of anger inside the building at the bosses for letting this happen.”
