He closed a channel Discovery operated with The New York Times in 2008 and killed Planet Green, an eco channel, just last month.Oh no, not Planet Green, my favorite channel.
It must be that global warming turned Planet Green into Planet Brown.

What’s her net worth right now? I’m thinking that she still has another $700 million to burn!

"Whats her net worth right now? Im thinking that she still has another $700 million to burn!" Give it another year, she will be down to seeds and stems. . .
Then we can really party. . . . .

This just could not happen to a more deserving group of man haters, whitey haters, American haters, and downright communists. Its good to hear some great news from time to time.Couldn't agree more

Oprah had her times of wild success but those years are behind her now. Any success going foward will be on a much smaller scale now. She was much more successful under the white presidents vs. The Zer0 becomes The One. Hope she likes the Change.

Reminds me of the scene in “Citizen Kane” where somone tells Kane he’s loosing 100s of thousands/year on his paper.
He smiles and says, at that rate I’ll be out of business in 150 years.
I’m sure O is using OPM for this deal.

OWN was originally DiscoveryHealth, iirc.
And what the heck does a "successful failure in television today" mean? The analyst must be kissing Oprah's tuckus, because Apollo XIII it ain't.

It’s OK to hobnob with the entertainment types to get elected. But you should avoid them like the plague if you reach office. Clinton’s association with Thomasson gave us the infamous “I did not have sex” sound bite.

You don’t think it is the O’s money do you. That 330 mil is mainly Discovery channel cash.
To: Justaham
Great news! I would have bet on its success.
To: Justaham
So glad to hear it.
She worked hard for it with her ‘happy dance’ and jetting the Obama’s around....

True but I think there was a burn rate where Oprah was going to have to kick in her money. I they used up the Discovery Channel cash a while back.

What “Oprah’s political activism has cost this nation” is a drop in the bucket compared to that of the broadcast networks.
CBS nearly threw a presidential election with those forged memos. CEO Les Moonves should have been fired and brought up before Congress. The news department should have been gutted. In fact, the FCC should have yanked CBS’ license to broadcast on the public airwaves for a least a year.
Oh, but Dan Rather gets to “retire.” Okay. Justice has been served.
And yet Oprah’s network reaches (on its best day) 300,000 people. Most days its about 180,000.
I think FReepers are directing their vitriol at the wrong target.

OWN. What exactly does this mean. Is she so insecure she is trying to act like she owns white slaves or something. She voted for obama because he is black. She will go down the tubes right along with obama and the socialist/communist democrat frauds who fraudulently elected this ineligible candidate.

"You dont think it is the Os money do you. That 330 mil is mainly Discovery channel cash." Yep but she is going through it like dodo through a goose.
They can't be happy and will pull the plug real soon.
I am still planning a party. I already bought the root beer. . . . .

What useful purpose does she serve when those dreams become a nightmare for many, many Americans?
