Oprah Winfrey Cooks Neilsen Ratings

On Twitter Sunday night, billionaire TV diva Oprah Winfrey apparently recklessly violated Neilsen's policy against openly lobbying Nielsen box owners to watch a specific TV show or network.

But it was just one of those accidental honest slip-ups.

The TV diva  tweeted to her followers: "Every 1 who can please turn to OWN especially if u have a Neilsen [sic] box."

Oprah ended the whole fiasco by saying: "I intended no harm and apologize for the reference."
