During an interview with "CBS This Morning" yesterday, the former queen of talk show admitted her Oprah Winfrey Network was a big mistake...doomed from the start. She said:
The idea of creating a network was something that I wanted to do. Had I known that it was this difficult, I might have done something else.
If I knew then what I know now, I might have made different choices. If I were writing a book about it, I could call the book '101 Mistakes.

glad she said it with her OWN mouth.
And why won't people love Americans like this? Honesty......can we really be this honest and own up to bad decisions, choices and acts? We would rather die in the failure instead of saying it is a failure, get up,dust ourselVes and move on!
Let's learn to be true to ourselves in this Country..it will go along way.
Still love u to bits oprah. and mistakes are a part of life. Its ok.. u stil got a bright future remember? Ur Oprah for pete's sake!
She should start something new asap, its not bad to make a mistake it becomes an issue when U̶̲̥̅̊ don't correct it.
"Merecin afta det". Guess money can't run a network then... HAhahahaha. Wonder how CNN, BET, Silverbird, et al do it then. Esp our 9ja networks cuz doing business here is so not a walk in the park O_o
Admitting it makes U stronger O. U now rock!
Power of hindsight from one of the most influencial women in the world.
She should put her weight behind our own Madam Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala for the Top most World Bank position.
This only proves that anybody can make a mistake. And its okay to fail sometimes.

That's what happens when you try to play 'God' yes she was nice and all that eish, but she let the fame get into her head...having people say in O's name they pray or when she said God was jealous of her fame...I smh..hope she has learnt her lesson sha
u just spoke my mind!
Now she will use her head,not her fame to mek decisions.
Linda that Oprah's statement doesn't translate into what you wrote as in the network being "doomed from the start". It hasn't failed yet or has it? Every big venture is always difficult at the beginning, am sure even the first days of your blog were difficult. Let's be careful how we interpret what people say.

In other to be successful, you have to make mistakes because that's the only way to learn, grow and move to the next step. You rock, Oprah.
