Oprah Winfrey and her show (and now, with her own network..) are designed to SELL product. She's just one big info-mercial, aimed at America's most gullible housewives.

I like the present Discovery Medical Network. I hope she allows some of those programs to stay on the air.

.....and as America continues to be destroyed from within....she may move her new company out of the country.

I am hoping that if she has control of what she puts on her network, that she won't control what needs to be said, about the powers that be. A perfect place to start is David Icke's writings.

The public is so completely out of the loop that it's actually stunning. The only way to correct the problem is to grab the bull by the horns and start educating them with the raw facts and truths that they aren't getting now, so they won't buy into more lies, war, and control!!

The public doesn't really realize the handcuffs that have been placed on their wrists and Oprah has a chance to change that. Will she? We'll see!!!

Good. Now, she can put all the evil shows she has created on her own network, Dr Phil, Rachel Ray, comes to mind. This woman has a tremendous sense of hubris and vanity. Wanna do good, why doesn't she start locally? There is much suffering in America and what has she done? Oh yes, I know, a school in Africa has more media coverage ... I used to be a fan of her but I am vey disillisioned.

Wow. Talk about open-minded people. I'm not a huge fan of Oprah; but I have to ask if Bill Gates or Steve Jobs had done this would there be so much vitriol?

Oh, great...now she can launch even more Dr. Phils, Rachel Rays, Dr. Ozs and the like.

Oh great - something else NOT to watch. Discovery has slipped down yet another peg teaming with her. money-grubbers.

Hey people, I just went to own.com to see if Oprah's OWN website is up. Own.com is up and running, but it's not her website--it's a porn site!

we already have BET---thats enough and its good,---ego Op-spray wants all she can take from America!!

Should OWN be part of the SCIFI channel and not the Discovery Channel.

Do it like they do on the discovery channel
....Bloodhound Gang.

The Oprah network could be used as a new torture method on terrorist

Just what us blubbery, debt-crushed, tattoo-etched, Jesus-haunted, multiply-addicted TV zombies need. Another TV network.

No Big Ego's in Show Business.

Nope

What is it about Oprah that makes people so angry? I can understand how people get overwrought about politicians, but why her? She's just a celebrity, and apparently a very smart businesswoman, but if you don't like her, don't watch her show. I don't get it.
