1. She said she wants it to be positive...
I think she could offer news or commentary somewhere down the road, but I don't think it would fit with what she has now. However, she is still adding to the network so we'll see.

3. I hate Oprah for reasons that have nothing to do with her politics.
Hint: has to do with Jenny McCarthy.

5. Oh but there are so many more reasons
Jenny McCarthy, Dr. Oz, Deepak Chopra, Suzanne Sommers, an almost endless parade of diet quacks...

7. I might add her backing Arnold for Governor of
California too. I haven't watched her since then. It left a really bad taste in my mouth.

8. Haha, I forgot that one
Which is sort of the point... Oprah has promoted more idiocy than perhaps any other person in America, outside of the GOP.

11. True, would you believe I never watched Oprah..
Oh, one time I did....many years ago, she had on a guy from England who said that Jesus was alive and living in London; Benjamin somethingorother.

That is the only program of hers that I ever saw. I don't understand why she's popular.

4. Definition of politics? How do you run a business without regarding what people think/want?

6. Liberals are positive. She just needs to keep the
fear mongering, greedy conservatives off her channel and it will all be positive.
