Oprah loses millions in ad sales for 'O' magazine
The Grio ^ | April 13, 2012 | Chris Witherspoon

Just when we thought things were beginning to look up for Oprah Winfrey, her highly successful magazine takes a fall. According to a new report, O, The Oprah Magazine is down millions of dollars in advertising sales in comparison to last year.

The Association of Magazine Media reports that ad sale revenue for O, The Oprah Magazine was $48.8 million in 2011. However, this year ad sales are at a low of $34.2 million, which translates to a decrease of 24.1 percent. The magazine's newsstand sales have also been declining as of late.

According to the Audit Bureau of Circulations, in the second half of 2011 sales declined by a whopping 32 percent, while on average the decline with other major magazines was merely 10 percent.

She still supports him though.

Oprah Backs Obama but ‘Not Going to Be Out There’

http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2012/04/oprah-backs-obama-but-not-going-to-be-out-there/

Oprah Winfrey said today that while she is “not going to be out there” as a booster for President Obama during the 2012 general election campaign, her support has not dimmed.

“I’m 100 percent behind our president. I actually love our president, and have the utmost respect for him and that office and what it takes to be there,” Winfrey told Charlie Rose on CBS’ “This Morning.”

“I will not be out there because I’m trying to fix a network,” she said.

SNIP

Oprah appeared last month at an intimate, high-dollar fundraiser for Obama’s re-election effort at the Atlanta home of actor-producer Tyler Perry.

Women watched Oprah because her show was on free TV.

They got the magazine with a one time cheap sign up subscription and can’t afford to renew it at it’s regular price.

They don’t have Oprah in their home everyday telling them to buy what she buys, vote how she votes and care about what she cares about...they are sheep without a shepherd.

Out of sight, out of mind....that simple.

"Well, I think she had a large audience originally, because she was not a race baiter. Plenty of white women watched her, and when she recommended a book, it always did well. All that changed when she jumped in the tank for Obama."

I'm actually surprised it turned out that way. The way those fainting women fans of hers would shriek and cry and clap when she came out on stage.....I thought they'd follow her off a cliff.

Just the shipping costs must have gone up dramatically, not to mention other production costs affected by the high cost of gas.

So I would guess production and shipping costs are way up as readership is way down.

Oprah publicly jumped on the bandwagon against Zimmerman without all the facts.

Used to go to Reverend Wrights church, would not be surprised if she was also a fan of Bell and CRT.

Her daily place in this market was taken over by Ellen. Hopefully the sheep aren’t grazing there.

Oprah is no more!!! She is another victim of her undying love for “radioactive, failed POTUS, Barack Hussein Obama!!! Oprah should have shunned Obama like a bad habit. She did not, and....by her own actions, fawning over the failed POTUS, she has killed her own career and lost millions!!!

Hope the rest of Black Americans wake up and come to the conclusion that POTUS Obama is not their friend. Never was and never will be!!! Loyalty to Obama will keep American Blacks at the bottom of the economic totem pole forever held in the “Obama Slavery Plantation”!!! Foolish people!!!

Politics aside, it is a horrid magazine with nothing of interest for most people. Picked it up once at the doctor’s office, and wondered why anyone at all would subscribe. Same with her “network”—awful, awful stuff. Who watches? I mean besides Oprah and Obama...

I believe Oprah's downgrade in popularity is a realistic sign of the true popularity of Obama among women. When Oprah had her show, she was particularly popular with white, middle aged women. After the show ended, she took up the Obama cause and now, everything she touches turns to dust. IMHO, those once loyal Oprah viewers assign some blame for Obama to Oprah.

As well they should have! Oprah long ago forgot her roots of poordom. She secumbed to gluttony, self satisfaction and the whimsical fancy of too damned much money.

In reality, I equate this woman's action with those of Himmler, Goering, Goebbels, and Eichmann. She, most of all helped usher in the one evil from within that stands a good chance of toppling this country.

It occurs to me that all of Oprah's problems began when she went all-out for The Won.

There is justice.
