MSNBC Contributor Wants Oprah Winfrey to Go Away

Don't we have this discussion about Oprah about once every five years or so where people ponder if this is the end of the Oprah empire? Well ever since she endorsed Barack Obama, there has been keen interest in whether that would spell DOOM, DOOM, DOOM for everything O.

MSNBC Contributor , Michael Ventre wrote an article,Enough’s enough: Oprah is oversaturated-Media magnate is on verge of ruining a good thing by being in everything

"It wasn’t the candidate she picked who’s the problem, even though she’s African-American, he’s African-American, and therefore such an endorsement — her first such public declaration — caused the racist goobers in our society to crawl out from various rocks and offer their ugly blather.

The issue is more about saturation. Oprah has her hands in just about everything these days, from publishing to reality shows to humanitarian efforts to spirituality. And she’s not a phony. She’s helped a lot of people and has had a colossal impact on the communications landscape." MSNBC

BTW, they are saying the same thing about Martha Stewart. Slate wrote an article called "Why Martha Stewart's Company is Doomed."

He better watch himself, she might buy the network and become his boss.

We're not saturated with her image, it's just that she's the most visible and prominent black woman around. All the other saturation images are of the same looking white woman: blond / brunette, skinny, young, and star-of-the-moment. Bet he'll never complain about that.

^^^I agree with above. Oprah just happens to be the most visible black woman out there compared to the plethora of white women. It's also not her fault she is a GREAT and SAVVY buisnesswoman.

You know what I like about O? She ain't going nowhere until she decides to, not because some no-named person decides that she is oversaturating the market...

Folks better watch out...they may soon be watching O on O in O...

I'm looking forward to watching OWN when it launches next year. I still think Martha got railroaded. What is it about powerful women that strikes such fear in the heart of white men?

I think they are predicting her demise because they wish for it. Oprah has immense power and men are not used to a woman being able not wield that kind of power. While I am not a fan of Oprah I can fully appreciate what she has meant to WOC.

Propaganda and Whitewashed lies. They've been trying to pull the rug from underneath her feet because she's a black woman who chose to vote for Barack Obama. Obama will continue to thrive because she works through spiritual power.
