Oprah Winfreybusinesswoman, philanthropist, actress and former TV hostwill join CBS' 60 Minutes as a special contributor, the network announced Tuesday morning. The veteran interviewer will begin this fall, and, like other contributors, she won't appear on every episode of the Sunday news program.
"In its beginnings, 60 Minutes did hardcore investigative pieces, as well as features involving celebs or nonfamous people of note," says Les Rose, a professor at Syracuse University's Newhouse School and veteran photographer and field producer for CBS, adding that Winfrey will likely do the latter. "When there is a celebrity or sensitive situation, she will be the go to."
"Ive been a big admirer of 60 Minutes since my days as a young reporter. Im so excited and proud to join forces with this historic news program, which for me represents the bastion of journalistic storytelling," Winfrey said in a statement this morning. "At a time when people are so divided, my intention is to bring relevant insight and perspective, to look at what separates us, and help facilitate real conversations between people from different backgrounds.

"We wont see Oprah going to Iran or Guantanamo Bay," says Rose. "But she will be able to bring eyeballs to the show."

Oprah is still a POS, stupid, an elitist, and I, and others, are allowed to have our opinion of her, just as you are.
What’s the answer?
Habit?
Yes, “habit”.
So your sister works for Oprah, is that what you are telling us???
Look at post 40.
well, I’ll say it even if others won’t.
I’m sorry for your family’s loss.
We can be discerning enough, to say that Oprah is a fine employer, doing some great unexpected things for employees, but still be on the wrong side (in our opinion) on the political issues of the day.
Anyone here really take issue with what I just wrote?? If so, have at it.
In my ‘drunken past’ in this forum I have trashed Oprah with passion.
I’m not going to agree with her views on many issues at any time, but looking into her background I see something bad happened to her early in life.
She was used sexually by a relative.
That’s one common experience I share with her.
Her insanity in terms of liberalism in her mainstream media stardom and my not so liberal insanity in my not so star studded media experiences including this forum I like to think of as a common experience, too.
My sense is that Oprah needs some sobriety and sanity in her life to help her withdrawal from the political insanity.
She seems to have sought it in her lifetime but I sense she hasn’t found it yet.
I also heard the rumor that “60 Minutes” is also bring Maury Povich on board for a special monthly report on DNA tests in Washington. His first report will finally settle the question: “Is Bill really Chelsea’s dad?”
She’ll Bring Her Golden Touch?
Her tv channel has low low ratings.
Once she left ABC she fell off the radar.
And she is still fat despite years of dieting. Weight Watchers is scamming everyone with her commercials. Any weight lost is by a doctor sucking the fat out of her. Rumors can be read about that involving her.
Also when Mary Tyler Moore died she was interview by her “girlfriend” Gayle King on CBS and it was all about Oprah. I switched the interview off and came back a few times to see if they moved on to other people who actually knew her and worked with her but it was Oprah for like 20 minutes. She was name dropping to. “When I was going to interview Diana Ross I....’
No wonder she likes obama as they are both narcissist.
