El Paco Anyone that makes major political decisions (like who to vote for) based on the endorsement of an entertainer is in my opinion a worthless twit who shouldn’t be allowed to vote. Be it Rush, Oprah, Hannity, etc., they’re all entertainers who have found an audience and will say whatever they think will keep their ratings up with their audience to keep the money flowing in. I love Dylan and Springsteen, but I have my own mind, am able to reason and don’t need them to help me make up my mind on politics or anything else for that matter. I go to movies, buy CD’s, etc. for entertainment and enjoyment. I could care less what their political recommendations are. And the news pundits on both sides are nothing but a bunch of self serving gas bags.

Oprah is a genial person who made good money from her middle of the road values, but she lost her cred and my respect when she revealed herself to be racist by casting all that aside for going tribal on us all. The nice fat lady no longer seems so nice when you suspect she would sell you out because she has more melanin than you. That’s pretty much what’s going on with her falling ratings.

Hey el stupido, i mean el paco, grow some brains. the points you refer to are low-brow liberal hog wash and last decades news. alot of people are upset with orca because of the empty suit she sold us, knowing very well how obummer has NO EXPERIENCE whatsoever!!!! the only reason she pushed him on us was RACE, plain and simple. keep knocking the right, because you know they ARE spot on with calling the left what they REALLY are, condescending elitists with no regard for the average american. i’m so tired of IDIOTS claiming these altheletes and entertainers to be some sort of all-knowing demi-god just because they performed well in the color purple, or can hit a golfball 350 yards, WHO CARES!!! do your own thinking!!!!

Where was she on the ratings list before she endorsed Obama? And, does anyone remember the Pontiac G6 bogus give away? Fraud, racist, liberal person with a lot of money, Opra is a piece of c___! Great…she’s going to run away from mainstream tv and hide on the digital upgrade level that most of the section 8 welfare cases that watch her no can’t see her…unless their stealing cable or spending their welfare on satellite! What a phony stuck up rich b____!

Oh, I’m one of those stupid people that linked from DRUDGE. I love the Drudge site because it has links to every newspaper and organization on earth. I read Al-Jazeera there too… Drudge simply links to different news stories. He doesn’t pick just rightwing sites. Is this a right wing site? You probably got more traffic in one day due to Drudge than you have had however long you’ve been here. Ya’ll keep knocking Drudge and Rush and FOX but they are just kicking ass in the ratings. I guess there must be more of us hicks in America than you highly educated sensible liberals. (snicker)

While I don’t agree with Oprahs politics I do admire her greatly. What she has accomplished in life is impressive considering her background and early life. She sure wasn’t born with a silver spoon in her mouth. She worked hard and she worked honest jobs and improved herself. She is one smart lady. She is a successful publisher, TV personality, actress and is sitting on a 2.7 billion empire. She has achieved the American dream by her own efforts and that is admirable. I don’t watch Oprah or read her mag….I’m a gun kind of guy. Her performance in ‘The Color Purple’ was spot on. I disagree with her politically but that is no reason to condemn the woman for her beliefs. She’s one smart lady and I would love to talk to her for a day and pick her brain. U see the evil in Obama. I saw the evil in Clinton. I don’t detect evil in Oprah but hey, I’ve been wrong before.

…. Judge Judy, a classy lady who represents the best of American values, won.
“a classy lady”???? Don’t piss on my leg and tell me it is raining.
You ARE waterlogged – J.Judy is utterly lacking in judicial demeanor,
conduct, and carries around her own personal version of Rules of
Evidence. She makes a mockery of the judicial system – which is why
she, in a startling display of honesty, characterizes her show as
“entertainment”. The predecessor of Courtroom shows, Judge Wapner,
set a standard of conduct and education to which none of his successors have lived up – and Judy least of all.

“But why hasn’t anyone mentioned her embrace of all the loony new age health gurus? Like the nut job that killed 3 people in Arizona couple months ago. A virtual regular on her show for years. One of the same people that brought us the “Secret”. All psychobabble trash and she wrapped herself in it completely without ever questioning the harm it could cause.”

“Yea, they never learn. They are all too quick to forget how Rosie “O”
Dumbell crapped on Tom Selleck, (a few years back), and how that little stunt ran her career into the ground overnight. ” –Actually, it boosted her ratings, led to the extremely successful Million Mom March, and her show lasted four more years until she decided to retire from the show’s hectic workload.

Isnt there anything better for anyone to talk or fight over then oprah? I guess in the past she was big, I dont really know, I dont watch much television. I can tell that I think Im better off anyway. Read a good novel, or go outside. Oprah seemed to me kind of a scammer. I dont care if she stays or leaves, shes still going to be stupid rich. I dont think the drugde report is that bad, I still read other news sites. Everything has a hidden meaning these days, so just take it how you feel and be happy. Im not a hippie btw hahaha. PS The office is good.

Not a fan of Oprah, but good for her…money, success, influence……but when she and other tree huggers vote in, support and recommend a socialist administration, I draw the line. Now they want US to cut back on our lives…
….how about this instead……NOBODY…including the Hollywood creeps needs a home larger then ?5,000sq ft., don’t need more then 2 houses per family, and 2 cars per family member, no private planes (fly commercial), and one limited sized boat/yacht per family..we can deal with their excessive jewelry,furs….etc later. Once the idiots who support this socialist administration cut back, I will do likewise…..I can hardly wait for Kerry, Kennedy, Gore, Clinton, Pelosi, Oprah, Letterman, Hanks, etc, etc…moving into their new digs…..sale of their existing belongings should fund lots of health care….no need for tax hikes.

I have not ever watched Oprah’s show. She seemed to be a positive influence on many people though. We all have our own minds and think for ourselves. It’s only those who feel threatened by that that will offer their criticisms and insults. Oprah, whatever you do with your future and fortune, good luck. I admire your success.

Oprah is leaving on the top of her game. She still has the number one talk show, and she is a billionaire for all you haters who is glad to see her go can kiss her rich ass. And to think that Sarah Palin will beat Obama in 2012 is stupid, nobody is going to vote for Sarah Palin she thinks America is in the Continent of Asia. And for all you Conservative Racist people need to stop hating on successful smart thinking black people, allot of people on late night and morning talk shows supported Obama… Hell even President George W. Bush was smart enough to vote for Obama to get America out the mess its in today.

I find it funny how people are still getting mad about Oprah endorsing Obama. Yeah, so terrible. Obama hasn’t even been in office long enough for us to even see if he’s “ruining this country” like all you people from Drudge say. Economics and politics doesn’t work that quickly. It takes time. In another one or two years if things dont start to get better, then complain all you want. I would be right there complaining next to you.

But if Oprah voiced her support for Palin, you guys know that you’d love Oprah after that and you’d claim that she’s one of the smartest women on earth. But instead you hate because of her political affiliations. Sad.

Oh, and here’s a list of people you should avoid supporting by never going to see any of their movies, buy any of their products, etc. because they have all publicly voiced their support of Obama.

* Willie Nelson
* David Letterman
* Oprah Winfrey
* Halle Berry
* George Clooney
* Sheryl Crow
* Bob Dylan
* Topher Grace
* Macy Gray
* Bruce Springsteen
* Tom Hanks
* Scarlett Johansson
* Hayden Panettiere
* Zachary Quinto
* John Cleese
* Deidre Hall
* Michael Moore
* Chris Rock
* Linsay Lohan
* Paris Hilton
* Britney Spears
* The Dixie Chicks
* Ben Affleck
* Jennifer Aniston
* Stephen Colbert
* Matt Damon
* Tobey Maguire
* Kristen Chenoweth
* Morgan Freeman
* Will Smith
* Ed Norton
* Eddie Murphy
* Charles Barkley
* Robert De Niro

Here’s the deal. Millions of hard working men bust their humps every day to bring home the bacon. Women too! But Oprah’s audience are the wives who don’t work and will do nothing better than to tune her in an listen to her inane drivel day in and day out. Judge Judy is a show about a bunch of social losers and deadbeats sueing one another. Time spent watching Oprah and Judge Judy is time wasted.

I posted before the latest news from the Oprah camp yesterday Nov19 and today Nov20th, I don’t have a crystal ball, do you?
Funny, how you completely ignore your own errors, Mr. Gorman and Mr. Seidman…
She does want to complete her 25 years at the helm of her talk show, all I said was that she stated she might reconsider, she made that statement last month.
Someone else from your website’s staff want to share?

When I personally know 3 Oprah fans that dropped her like a ripe melon off a 10 story building after she endorsed Obama, I guess I just connect the dots and assume her ratings problems had something to do with her politics. Remember, this wasn’t entirely a left / right issue either. She lost a lot of women by picking Obama over Hillary. She split the audience that would have never voted for McCain/Palin in the first place. Add to that, the Oprah show with Palin was the highest rated of the season, and you’ve got all the evidence you need. But why hasn’t anyone mentioned her embrace of all the loony new age health gurus? Like the nut job that killed 3 people in Arizona couple months ago. A virtual regular on her show for years. One of the same people that brought us the “Secret”. All psychobabble trash and she wrapped herself in it completely without ever questioning the harm it could cause.

So Oprah stayed on the air just long enough to help elect Obama president and now for him to destroy the country. She should quit! But do so right now, not in 2011.
That’s right Oprah, quit now! This way you’ll be the first in line at the refrigerator.

lisa, Oprah's announcing her plans for the future today. You will no longer have to wonder. Although the news yesterday that she'd continue her current show until 2011 already points out one error in your comment. Edit: She did make her announcement, but there were really no more specifics in it than we already knew yesterday.

“Why isn’t NCIS on this lest [sic]?”

NCIS will be found on the TOP 25 NETWORK RATINGS, and in the TOP 25 CABLE BROADCAST RATINGS; as it is not in syndication, it is completely understandable why it does not appear on the top 25 SYNDICATED ratings.

Mr. Seidman
“Oprah is considering “quitting” her show to move it to the cable network with her name on it.” you say (ha ha ha).
I don’t know where you have been or what you have read or heard in the last few years. But there *never* was a plan to move the Oprah Winfrey tv talk show to OWN, her new network.
On the contrary, she wanted to do the show for 25 seasons and then call it quits, this is the 24th season. Oprah likes anniversary numbers, and probably was planning a 25th Anniversary DVD product, just like she did after the 20th year anniversary of her TV show.
Recently, she has been hinting that she may finish this 24th season and not proceed with the 25th, she has stated she will decide in May 2010 (after the May sweeps?). She does not want to end her ‘longest lasting talk show’ on a sour note, due to poor ratings, just like her predecessor had to do, Phil Donahue.
The OWN network is yet to formulate what their lineup is going to be, in fact they are in the midst of reshuffling executives again, and can’t agree on the content and direction the network should take.
They are now a year behind with no shows and no income….
Nice to be sarcastic when you do not know what you are talking about, and insult me in the process. Maybe we should swith jobs?

Thanks for the note on “Legend of the Seeker”. I loved the first season. A few dead episodes, but for the most part, it was a lot of fun. I have high hopes I will enjoy Season 2 but I cut the cable last year and watch via NetFlix. Probably means my opinion loses value but I want to see it last at least 3 seasons.
Opra had a great run and is a winner on many fronts. She has the resources of a queen so don’t laugh too hard at her business decision to change direction at seeing the decline of a product line. I am no fan and have seen little of her show. Her joining O’s during the election did help the president significantly.
