"The only advice that I say, let's open up your circle a little bit more. You know, we love the Dr. Phils. We love the Suze Ormans. Let's open up. There are other people. And there's also African-American experts out there that I think she should start bringing on her show that can reach even a wider audience."  

These thoughts shared by co-founder and billionaire Sheila Johnson during an interview on NPR's "Tell Me More" segment have sparked a reasonable debate about the diversity of Oprah's recently launched OWN.  Johnson, along with her then husband, created BET decades ago but has since admitted she's ashamed of what BET has become today.  Are her opinions hypocritical and unfounded against Oprah's achievements or would you agree that despite the success she's had, Oprah has failed to produce any type of diversity with her talk show and now her new network?
