The Chicago Tribune is reporting that Oprah's television ratings have gone down since she started campaigning for Barack Obama. The truth of it all is that the ratings were already on the decline going from 9 million viewers in 2005 to 7.8 last year, to 7.3 this year. Her magazine sales have also seen a 10% drop. Don't count Ms. Winfrey out yet, she still has the number 1 rated talk show. But really does the decline have anything to do with her campaigning. Personally I'm just not feeling Oprah these days. Being an African American women I would like to feel included when I watch her show or look at her magazine but instead I feel like I am excluded from the issues she covers on her show, and have you looked through her magazine, there are scarce pictures of any African Americans. Now I am certainly not saying she should only cater to African Americans but she should at least include us. I like media that includes me so I will watch and read just about anything I feel included in. I love the View and Ellen is the ish so that has to say something right? Well I'm sure Ms. Winfrey could care less about what Ms. Nina has to say, so gone girl make that money how you make it.
