oprah to end show in 2011... will chicago need a stimulus plan to counterbalance?

[cubeless]

It seems a mildly interesting topic to me...

the show must
1) be a large enterprise
2) employ many people
3) pay a bunch of taxes
4) have flow through to a lot of other businesses...

Soooo...

1) should community organizers visit oprah to make her stay on the air?
2) will there be a 'displaced oprah employee redeployment act'?
3) seems a pretty evil thing for a liberal to do, closing a business that many get their livelyhood from...
4) does she have a succession plan? what are all her watchers going do now?
5) will she be blamed when literacy drops because people stop reading without her recommendations?

Will OWN be Chicago based? If so, there will likely be far more employees than the current show supports.

She's going to the Generalissimo of the new ACORN Army with Ayers as Minister of Propaganda.

I doubt it...

The government really does need to step in and prevent her from going off the air. We're going to need all the rich folks we can tax to fund this turnaround.

Maybe she figures we'll have turned the corner and we'll all be on easy street by then? It's unconscionable that she'd turn her back on all of us.

Oprah was proported to have said "why would anyone stay in Chicago".

She is right.

Chicago, specifically Mayor Daley is selling everything to 3rd party companies which in turn are quadrupling prices or more.

They are working hard on making it another Detroit.

And as many sheeple as possible to continue to support this administration.

Lots of folks want their free stuff. Here in Detroit, they think it comes from Obama's stash.

Bet on her getting her own network.

ABC will be renamed OBC.

Don't care one way or the other. Have never watched the show.

This is so important I think BHO should lobby her to stay put.
