Seems like the Oprah Winfrey Network just can't catch a break: after Friday's announcement that The Rosie Show wouldn't be coming back to the network after a low-rated first season, OWN is restructuring.

Thirty staffers are being laid off, with their duties redistributed throughout the the network and the two partners in the joint venture cabler—Discovery Communications and Oprah's own Harpo Studios.

Extreme feminazi libtard commentary discussing why women are all powerful and men are all stupid lowlife animals. But somehow womyn are under the heel of their dumber adversaries.

How could that formula possibly not win across the board?

The white house answer is the polling is skewed. As are the actual sales at the establishments of the sponsors.

You need only look at carbonite to see the power of the collective liberal pocketbook. And, of course, a little while ago, air america.

Even the liberals won’t watch such liberal trash.

On the Dish sat system I see several little liberal/lefty channels, but not one conservative one. One can see they can be had cheaply, for some don’t even have commercials or sponsors of any type.

Would think some conservative organiztion could start a pure conservative one and turn it into a power house channel.

She started her downhill turn when she had such visible support for the Obama’s. She hasn’t recovered from that.

I curse everyone who endorsed obama in ‘08; I curse Oprah. Serves the bitch right if her network fails.

This isn’t as bad as it sounds, folks. Rosie’s girth counts for like, 4 of the people laid off. I think they were counting people on a per-capita BMI. Rosie sort of skews those figures.

Breaking my heart...NOT. Bet she’ll think twice before endorsing a commie next time, or maybe not. Skull looks pretty thick.

Amazing how free markets make capitalists out of the biggest socialists.
