Why does Oprah Winfrey need her own channel?

The discovery health channel is becoming the Oprah Winfrey Network. What's up with that? I thought she was ending her show, but she's still on tv..and now her own channel? Why? She's really not that great, she's just a talkshow host.

    She needs the adoration of an audience much more than she even knows. Makes me wonder if she's not afraid of being alone with herself.

    Oprah Winfrey needs to go away.

    Like yesterday.

    To me, she's the biggest question mark in modern stardom. I don't have the first damn clue why she's so worshiped.

    Okay okay, let's be fair, let's give credit where due:

    She's obviously a good businesswoman, a good Producer, and she's run a successful talk show. So have a lot of people across the entertainment world! --Many, you and I have never heard of.

    But Oprah is treated as this almost messianic figure by thousands, and I just don't see it.

    "But she has class."

    Really?

    In my book, anyone who rolls and dives in the lavish spoils of capitalism, while simultaneously campaigning for socialist policies that will ensure its destruction, is a classless hypocrite.

    --And her demeanor that has succeeded in charming so many.... It may be charisma. It may be on-air appeal. But it's not class.

    I also don't care for her claiming some kind of vague, pseudo-Christian faith in God, then dumping all over Christians and their views, choosing instead to embrace moral equivalency disguised as broadmindedness, in order to appeal to a bigger audience.

    All religions may be wrong, including mine. But they can't all be right. Because they all believe fundamentally different things.

    Class is picking a side, and sticking to it.

    Class isn't the demeanor you display when all the world is watching.

    It's what you do when no one is watching.

    I think that Oprah just wants to show the world, that she can do whatever she wants and can accomplish things that other people can't. She has more money then most and she just wants to show the people i'm this little girl from Chicago and look at me world.
