I too believe Oprah was a force for good. I also believe that good continued... until she went political with this past election. I can see why she did that, and that she supported what she believed in.. And as a grown up, I can like someone even if we differ politically. That said, she lost her "good will towards all" place in my heart, by not giving Sarah Palin an opportunity to appear on her show, before the election. Not for Ms Palins sake, but for the ideal most women believed Oprah stood for...a voice for the betterment of all women.
I think Oprah was very clear about not having any candidates on the show.
www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/09/05/oprah-... Oprah Winfrey, who made the first political endorsement of her life this year in supporting Barack Obama, said in a statement Friday that she would be happy to have Republican Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin on her show — but not until after the election is over. The statement was meant to clarify a report on the Drudge Report, which claimed Oprah's staff was divided over having Palin and that Oprah refused due to her support of Obama: The item in today's Drudge Report is categorically untrue. There has been absolutely no discussion about having Sarah Palin on my show. At the beginning of this Presidential campaign when I decided that I was going to take my first public stance in support of a candidate, I made the decision not to use my show as a platform for any of the candidates. I agree that Sarah Palin would be a fantastic interview, and I would love to have her on after the campaign is over.
As a side note from the same link: Sarah Palin Gives Oprah Highest Ratings In Two Years Oprah's much-anticipated interview of Sarah Palin brought her the biggest "Oprah" ratings in two years. Edit the quote function has a glitch this AM.

I gave up on Oprah when she announced she spent $100,000 a year on eyebrow waxing.

I like Oprah, I think she is a positive force. Her shows are mostly lack-luster these days. I guess the topics usually don't interest me. It sounds to me like she is starting a new cable empire - good for her!

She's the richest woman in America, earning every dime of it, she'll be busy managing the rest of her empire.

Twenty five seasons eh? Did you expect her to keep hosting her show in a walker? I'm sure this will not be the last we see of Oprah.

I watched Oprah for the first time in ages the other day when Sarah Palin was on. Not because I am a fan of Palin, but I was curious. Most TV I do watch I record and skip through the commercials. The exception is news.
