Hi Squall-lionheart,
Oprah IS global: if she is doing the right thing and admits that she was wrong, offers her appologise and makes a show with the people Heisinme wrote about in her e-mail, she will reach a greater part of the world. I agree with you that she 'used' Michael for her ratings and I simply cannot understand why she is so stubborn about this case, is it just because she was a victim herself in the past? Or are there other circumstances (which you mentioned). Anyway, this is the list of countries where the Oprah show airs:
