KGO Radio's Christine Craft, substituting for Brain Copeland on Sunday morning, went out of her way to rip into Oprah Winfrey, who announced her departure from syndicated TV in Sept. 2011.
Craft's hour-long diatribe was refreshingly blunt, if not a tad too personal with Craft openly portraying Winfrey as a rich media mogul playing off the image of the "poor little 'black girl." Humn...
The last comment drew a tepid response from a critical African-American caller who questioned Craft's choice of words; pretty riveting radio on a gray Sunday morning.
Craft's anti-Oprah mantra was enhanced with a few personal stories; nevertheless just hearing anything slightly off the beaten media path was fairly interesting.
By the way, I e-mailed Craft for any further comment on the topic, but since the KGO radio heads of state known as "Luckoff and Swanson" consider me pastrami on rye; with lots of mayo, guess they won't allow their minions to talk to me.
Aw shucks, there goes the free burger from Grumpy's. (Personal aside to my KGO moles: please e-mail the "RL memo" to me; I'm dying to see it)
