Media Mogul Oprah Winfrey
61Media Moguls Never Die ...
In 2025, the Media Mogul Wars cease fire is still in place ... for now.
In prior years, at the behest of the media moguls in the Google Kingdom, thousands of GoogleBots and Google Drones spread out across the land in droves, managing to capture most of the digital advertising territory.
And, via their YouTube warship, the Google media moguls even managed to invade and control a fair amount of adjacent lands.
Yes, the media moguls in the Google Kingdom relentlessly attacked, punished and eventually vanquished most of their bitter rivals ... until the land was overrun with the brittle bones and steaming, decaying corpses of their media mogul enemies.
Eventually, driven by an insatiable appetite for conquests, the moguls at Google turned their sights to other Kingdoms in far away lands ... and began invading.
But there was one land that even these Media Moguls did not dare tread!
... A magical place called Oprahland!
Media mogul Oprah Winfrey rules Oprahland with an iron fist. In 2025, she's an elder stateswoman, and a big-time old media mogul.
Her power and feats are legendary.
Back in 2008, Oprah was even able to leverage some political influence by backing presidential candidate Barack Obama.
Yes, Oprah Winfrey certainly was the classic Old Media Mogul.

I just read another interesting hub discussing Oprah and her backing of Obama -

I liked Oprah a lot...but I think this author has a really good point and it made me realize why I've been so bothered by her lately. And with your examples, she has made more than just one misstep.
