Burn!

Now that Oprah has said she's not going to continue her talk show after 2011, CBS is already talking greasy about how they don't need her anyway. In a memo leaked to the press CBS says, "We think Oprah's significance is likely overblown for CBS. So while the loss of a longstanding distribution deal is disappointing for CBS, it's hardly a material hit to the numbers, in our view." The note went on to say they earn far more from Judge Judy and Entertainment Tonight than they do from Oprah.
