OPRAH HAS A NEW JOB!
SHE HAS COME FROM LITTLE TO HAVE THE WORLD AND NOW SHE IS LOOKING TO CONQUER THE WORLD. OWN (OPRAH WINFREY NETWORK) LAUNCHED IN JANUARY 1, 2011 AND IS OWNED BY HARPO PRODUCTIONS AND DISCOVERY COMMUNICATIONS. IT TOOK OVER THE DIAL ORIGINALLY OCCUPIED BY DISCOVERY HEALTH CHANNEL. WINFREY IS THE CHAIRMAN AND WILL KEEP HER COMPLETE STAFF AND WILL NOT MOVE HER OFFICES.
THE FIRST THREE MONTHS HAVE BEEN AN UNEXPECTED LET DOWN FOR THE CEO'S AND A SHIFT HAS BEEN MADE AS PETER LIGUORI TAKES OVER AS INTERIM-CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER REPLACING CHRISTINA NORMAN. NOW THAT OPRAH IS ABLE TO DEDICATE HER FULL ATTENTION TO THE NETWORK REVAMPING WILL ONLY ALLOW FOR TREMENDOUS GROWTH. THE FACT THAT THE NETWORK IS ON A HIGHER LEVEL CHANNEL IN THE CABLE/SATELLITE WORLD MAKES IT MORE DIFFICULT IN THIS TIME OF ECONOMIC CRISIS FOR PEOPLE WHO LOVE AND ADORE HER BUT ARE LIVING ON LIMITED INCOME. TO CAPTURE HER VIEWERSHIP AFTER DEPARTING HER DAILY DAYTIME TALK SHOW ON CBS SHE WOULD NEED TO DROP DOWN TO A MORE BASIC CABLE LEVEL. DOES THE POWER OF OPRAH HAVE THIS ABILITY MAYBE IF SHE CONQUERED THE UNIVERSE BUT FOR NOW SHE WILL HAVE TO FIND A WAY TO STAY ACCESSIBLE TO THE LARGE POPULATION OF VIEWERS.
IN THE MAY 26, 2011 ISSUE OF ROLLING STONE MAGAZINE, ROB SHEFFIELD DID A ONE PAGE PIECE ON MISS WINFREY. SADLY HE MADE HER OUT TO BE MORE OF A BULLY WITH AN EGO PROBLEM THAN A CARING PERSON THAT THE WORLD KNOWS AND LOVES. HE DEPICTS HER AS "SOMETHING ABSOLUTELY TERRIFYING ABOUT HER EMOTIONAL AGGRESSIVENESS. SHE'S MORE TONY SOPRANO THAN PHIL DONAHUE." THE FACT THAT HE WOULD COMPARE A WOMAN IN POWER TO TWO MEN WHO ARE SO DIFFERENT, STARTERS BEING ONE IS NO EVEN REAL. THERE ARE MEN LESS POWERFUL WHO DO MORE DAMAGE TO OUR OWN COUNTRY AND THEN TURN AROUND AND ASK THE GOVERNMENT TO BAIL THEM OUT OF A CRISIS THEY CREATED. IF OPRAH WAS THEIR BOSS SHE WOULD BE LABELED A "BITCH" BECAUSE SHE WOULD BE SMART ENOUGH TO KNOW WHEN TO SAY "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH."
WE HERE AT RUSTYSCAGE.COM ARE NOT AVID VIEWERS OF "OPRAH" BE WE HAVE ON OCCASION BEEN KNOWN TO GET DRAWN IN BY THE PERFECT COMMERCIAL PREVIEW OF AN UPCOMING SHOW. IT MAY HAVE BEEN THE GUEST OR THE PARTICULAR SUBJECT BUT WHEN SITTING DOWN TO WATCH IT WAS EASY TO BE DRAWN IN FOR THE COMPLETE HOUR. HER SYNTAX WHEN YELLING OUT A GUESTS NAME IS VERY REMINISCENT OF "STAND-UP SPOTLIGHT" HOSTED BY ROSIE O'DONNELL FROM 1988-1991. ROSIE WOULD OFTEN YELL THE COMEDIANS NAME AT THE END OF A PERFORMANCE WHICH OFTEN WAS INDISTINGUISHABLE. OPRAH ALWAYS MADE SURE THAT THE NAME SHE WAS YELLING COULD BE HEARD FOR MILES WITH CLEAR PRECISION.
OPRAH NO LONGER NEEDS HER DAILY VIEWER FANSHIP, MY ON AGAIN OFF AGAIN FANSHIP OR HAS TO BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE NEGATIVITY SURROUNDING WRITERS SUCH AS MR SHEFFIELD BECAUSE SHE HAS DONE HER TIME AND EARNED HER PLACE ON THE PODIUM. SOME LIKE OPRAH WITH HER EAR TO THE GROUND AND THE ABILITY TO HEAR HER FANS WILL NEVER BE OUT OF THE SPOTLIGHT BUT LETS GIVE HER SOME TIME TO TAKE A BREATH AND REGROUP "OWN" BECAUSE SHE WILL BE BACK AND SURELY IN A BIG WAY. THANK YOU OPRAH FOR PROVING THAT NO MATTER WHAT YOUR GOAL IS "NEVER TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER" AND I WILL USE YOUR POSITIVE FORCE TO BUILD RUSTYSCAGE.COM SO I CAN EVENTUALLY BE ABLE TO HELP THOSE WHO STRUGGLE TO LIVE A BETTER DAY TO DAY EXISTANCE.
WE LOVE YOU OPRAH & GOOD LUCK
