- Thanks for fixing that mess up. I don't know a lot about Winfrey, as I have never watched her show, and I have totally abandoned following US-American debates about religion and atheism and public life, so I had nothing positive to add to the article -- but it seemed to me that under that mess that PC left behind, there might have been something actually worth writing about.
