Oprah had more than enough money to just retire instead of starting OWN. She could still be in or produce a movie now and then to stay busy. Rosie O'Donnell Show sucked, and so does a lot of the shows they have. I am not surprised by this.

The last thing we needed was another network showing trash.

She came across as real because she shared her weight problems with the world. I wonder how she feels about the latest scapegoat being obesity. I think she was one of the pioneers in overcoming the race issues and along comes Obama and divides the country.

And at the same time we have jobs leaving the country and poverty on the rise here, she makes major investments in other countries. I admired the things she did but wondered why she wasn't trying to help the people that gave her what she has. We are told that people aren't given enough opportunities here, so why did she take her wealth to another country.

I have tuned in to her network a few times but I don't find much to hold my attention. It's sad.

Her network isn't failing because of race or politics. It is failing because the shows on it are very boring and not very original. Many are shows that originally aired on other channels and that I have already seen before. The end.

I think this is the right answer.

Oprah is in the top half of the one percent. The dems love Oprah and the rich hollywood crowd.. They have many mansions all over the world. As long as it is a rich democrat the liberals love them.

I was wondering when the star of the Cult of Oprah would finally come crashing back down to reality. Her brainwashed, braindead Oprahbots are as scary as Obama's.

Isn't Oprah's Network the same as "The Infidelity Story" Network? I thought they were the same, maybe I'm mistaken. I also think that the producers of "Ancient Aliens" own the H2 network rather than the other way around but I might be wrong about that too.
