Is Oprah Winfrey’s Empire In Trouble?

Tongues are wagging about sagging ratings on the Oprah Winfrey Show.  It’s down by 7%, her magazine is selling less and her reality television show Big Give did not do well so, of course, critics are talking.  The thing is that almost everything in syndication has suffered from lower ratings and I think it’s really premature to start panicking.

Naturally, people are trying to draw connections to her endorsement of presidential candidate, Barack Obama.  I’m sorry but, if I were in her position and strongly believed in something, I would find it hard to stay silent.  She has done controversial things in the past and I think this is no exception.  Besides, it’s not like Obama is a lame-duck.  He is currently looking like the forerunner of the Democratic party and I think she has a right to support whomever she chooses. 

Here’s a video of the story.  Watch it and tell me what you think!
