What Did Oprah Do to Newsweek Magazine?
Well, you could take this week’s Newsweek cover and its accompanying story a couple of ways. The fact is, Oprah Winfrey really DOES say some outlandish things on her show – and that isn’t to say they’re untrue; it’s just that the pathway to health and happiness isn’t as 1-2-3 easy as she’d like to make you believe. But it’s a talk show – everything that needs to be said and done about one’s lifestyle has to first attract an audience, and then be able to fit into a 40-minute segment.
But did the magazine go a little far with this cover? Perhaps you could say they’re doing just what Oprah does – saying and doing just enough to catch your initial attention with such an abrasive cover, regardless of what the actual article says on the inside. Or maybe they’re just being way too harsh.
Or maybe someone’s finally not afraid to step to The Winfrey! She practically runs the world. I wouldn’t mess with her. But I have to give it to Newsweek for having cojones.

off topic… but you notice you never hear about oprahs family ? like does she have kids ? is she married ? divorced ? seperated ? shes never done an interview like that. I want a thing like they did on notorious. How did she become OPRAH. What has she endured. what struggles did she have to conquer. The real scoop. If some one can get that request to her then good lookin. cause theres no other blacks that i can think of that is in her position close to being the richest person in the damn world.

You go Girl SnapshotNTime. She nail it on the dot.
In researching the publishing industry for my business, I discover Newsweek is own by no other than self made billionarie Ted Tuner himself.
I believe Oprah and him are good friends.
Wow! It must be nice to have friends to play with and make millions of dollars.
Come On people! Read between the lines.
Or could it be that we are at the end of Oprah era! Run! Run! Everybody lOL!

Leave Oprah alone. She’s Black,a woman and a billionaire. Who else is in that category? She has more on her plate than any of us can imagine.

Poor Oprah! I will be so happy when she finds that happy true women that she is meant to be! She does so much for others I think she neglects herself!

I believe it is just a way to boost sales. Oprah is recession proof…so maybe they are using her name and face to save a business. Smart marketing with possible dire consequences. If Oprah approves millions do also. But if she disapproves…well millions do also.

What did Oprah do to Newsweek Magazine? Help put a Black man in the White House, that’s what. You just KNOW that Oprah’s on the Sh*t List as far as a lot of White folks in this country feel right now. They are NOT feelin’ her. LOL. They can’t steal no more. They can’t get away with sh*t no more. Their corrupt asses are going to jail by the masses. LOL

Oprahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Pleaseeeeee! With due respect to Oprah and her acheivementa. Apart from her money! Oprah is out of style/washed up. I am wondering if she and Steadman is realy an item? Maybe like Ms rice, Oprah might be a closet lesbian? Oprah need to get a lifeeee!

In reply to _A_:
With many magazines, especially newsmagazines, cover models don’t have the right to “sign off” on a cover. If the image is legally obtained, the magazine can use it however they want; they don’t need the permission of the person in the photograph. If that was the case, no celebrity would “sign off” on a magazine cover if the accompanying story showed them in a negative light — and thus, we would say goodbye to tabloids that scream “WORST BEACH BODY IN AMERICA” and covers like the one on this week’s Newsweek.

I would think Oprah would be savvy enough to sign off on a cover before allowing it out…She understands negative vs. positive portrayals via the media more than anyone, so I would be surprised to find out that Newsweek actually played her, like you are trying to imply…
