The Worst of Oprah: Daytime Talk Queen Ends Biased Reign
The Culture and Media Institute ^ | 5/24/2011 | Erin R. Brown

Talk show pioneer. Best selling author. Incredibly successful business woman. Actress. Philanthropist. Billionaire. "Most influential woman in the world." Oprah Winfrey, the King Midas of her day, is ending her 25-year, multi-award-winning talk show this May, signaling the end of a staple in 21st century television.

But amid all the fawning retrospectives and misty tributes, it's important to remember just who Oprah is, the biased viewpoint she represents and the damage she's done to popular culture.

Thank you for this...
I never drank the O koolaid and just smiled a smug smile when she came out in support of O’Bummer...

I give her props for making a success of herself instead of sitting around collecting a welfare check. But it’s funny how she doesn’t advocate her way to success to others, but rather, she thinks everyone is “entitled.” Instead of trying to lift up others who went through the same poverty and social degradation she did, she wants them to be slaves to the nanny state. What was good for her is not good for others.

Fortunately, her network is not part of my cable package, so there is no way I could accidentally wander on to it while channel surfing.

I was on Oprah in 1993. Great experience.

Must have missed that one...and every other one.

A very common thread among most social elites! Look at the socialist accused-rapist from the IMF! Man is a self-proclaimed socialist, but stays in $3000.00 a night hotels! WTF?!?! I guess what he is trying to say is that EVERYONE should be allowed to stay in $3000.00 per night hotels - it all makes sense now! /s

So her leaving has nothing to do with her losing millions of viewers from her support of Obummer and her getting badly beaten in the ratings by “Judge Judy.”

The only Oprah show I’ve ever seen is the one in which she featured the video of the Dominican nuns. Anything else was of no interest to me.

It is a rare Oprah-watcher who would benefit from being told how it is. Most would turn off the program, which is probably why she doesn't do it.

The secret of Oprah's success is that she knows how to tell her audience what they want to hear, rather than a truth they are unable to handle.
