Truly. I catch the odd bit here and there, but I suppose this is news to me. As in it was something I hadn't heard.<br /><br />And while I wouldn't consider it earth-shaking, it's certainly more newsworthy than the latest Hollywood Red Carpet Wardrobe Malfunction.

They make all sound so sudden. Sure, any announcement is sudden the first time you hear it, but she's not even going anywhere for almost 2 years. She's not quitting tomorrow.

I agree that she is self-centered...I also at times think that she can be racist...<br /><br />Yes, she has done some good things - and seems to care about people - but not to the point of excluding herself in her giving.<br /><br />These statements are my own humble opinion...Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00188797432417336539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-91442426261162123312009-11-20T14:53:36.171-05:002009-11-20T14:53:36.171-05:00I disagree.

She is not self-centered but building an empire and making tons of money in our society means that even if you sneeze people want to know if you are catching a cold. CEO's retire from companies and it is news. I no longer watch her shows as I think she has peaked and is going down hill.

She only appears on every single cover of her magazine. No, she's not self-centered. Just exceptionally self-aware. And you can be certain that he retirement will have "self-aware" written all over it. I wouldn't mind being in the audience that last week. I bet she has some great giveaways planned. <br /><br />As for taking TV too seriously, I don't. Well, unless you count my obsession with Good Eats and all things Alton Brown. But that's not TV, that's cooking! :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-66118498740645959792009-11-20T14:27:22.941-05:002009-11-20T14:27:22.941-05:00I agree... this is not news.

I remember once when she had a guest on that I was particularly interested in hearing what he had to say, she kept interrupting him to interject her pearls of wisdom.<br /><br />I think she long ago lost her effectiveness with some, not all. I check to see who she has on and then generally turn away.<br /><br />TV is highly overrated, and our country is in a mess, partly because of it and the rest of the circus going on around us.<br /><br />Sorry for the rant...no, I'm not.Beverlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07269872465115056916noreply@blogger.com
