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."
Later, Oprah Tweeted: "Commercial Grammy people..u can turn to OWN." - only to delete everything later.
Oprah ended the whole fiasco by saying: "I intended no harm and apologize for the reference."
