Is Oprah all about the ratings?

In June last year Cherryflava reported on the story whirling around the US that Oprah had tested positive for being Zulu.

Seven months later Don4060 posted this gem of a comment:

I live in New York. Last night Oprah appeared on a PBS TV program hosted by (Harvard University Chairman of African Studies) Louis Henry Gates. Oprah's DNA was tested and she was informed that she had no Zulu in her whatsoever. She was matched with a West African tribe.

Oprah knew this when she made her comments the SA media. So she lied. She does this alot. Noone second guesses Oprah in the US. Her viewers obey her every command. If Oprah says McDonalds hamburgers have mad cow disease, sell your McDonalds stock now. Oprah says read a book, run to the bookstore now because it has already sold out. Oprah says cruise ship travel is unsafe, ships will sail empty. Oprah is a problem.

Are cracks appearing in the Oprah brand? Are people questioning her integrity - has she endorsed one too many products?
Hell it was only the other day that we found out that DSTV's Channel O wasn't owned by Oprah.

Disappointing sure - but now that she lied about being Zulu?

Oprah is evil. People need to stop watching her.

yup, she's been a little bit too big for a while..if you know what i mean. Don't know if you can really take someone who puts their own face on their own magazine every month seriously?
