Oprah has seriously damaged her brand.  After years of preaching empowerment to women, lots of them are wondering why Oprah wouldn’t want a guest like Sarah Palin. However, according to Oprah, nobody even thought about inviting Sarah.  And if you buy that whooper, Oprah says:

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.     

Come on, Oprah, you know very well that your brand is YOU.  When you endorsed Barack Obama, you threw the entire franchise behind it.  The idea that the show is somehow separated from you and your personal decisions is laughable. And judging by the comments on your web site, the majority of your fans aren’t buying it either. Hat tip: InstapunditUpdate:  The Oprah discussion is up to 180 pages.  Guess this touched a nerve.
