Q Research General #12906: Minding our 'act of violence' frame-ups Edition
O stands for Oprah and for over. The Oprah magazine, called O, is apparently over.
Begun twenty years ago in print, and 10 years ago digitally, there are reports that O will cease print operations with the December issue. The website may continue. One editor has hinted at that on social media.
This is a surprise since the magazine has been considered a success in Hearst's shaky empire of publications that include Good Housekeeping, Cosmopolitan, Esquire, Harpers Bazaar, and Marie Claire. O has a reported average paid circulation of 2.2 million copies and a 10 million print audience
But Hearst is in a huge crisis since the ousting this week of CEO Troy Young after a New York Times story exposed his extreme bad behavior. Young and his cohort, chief content officer Kate Lewis, came from the digital side of the business, took over the magazines, and began desTroying them.
It's unclear right now if Oprah herself pulled the plug, or Hearst did it for her. It would seem if Oprah -who's appeared on every cover - wanted to continue the print magazine she could publish it or herself or move it to a different publisher. But the headaches of continuing may be something she's simply not interested in anymore. She's 66 years old, and concentrating on her OWN Network.
When O the Oprah magazine began, Oprah's bff Gayle King ran the show. But over the years, Gayle, obviously, has found great success with the CBS Morning News. The current editor in chief is Lucy Kaylin, who's been with Hearst for 14 years. But Kaylin must have known the writing was on the wall. She hasn't Tweeted since February 9th.
Stay tuned...

Q Research General #12863: INFORMATION WARFARE - INFILTRATION NOT INVASION Edition
Hearst Magazines chief Troy Young accused of lewd and creepy behavior
Troy Young was called out on Wednesday for leading a "toxic culture" at the magazine empire behind Cosmopolitan, Esquire, Harper's Bazaar and O, the Oprah Magazine, according to a scathing new report.
The New York Times on Wednesday said the Hearst Magazines president has drawn criticism internally for a series of his lewd and sexist remarks, including asking a pregnant Cosmopolitan staffer in the corporate cafeteria, "So, is the baby mine?".
But insiders tell The Post that the top Hearst brass are circling the wagons and standing behind Young. "He doesn't have a good filter," one insider told the Post.
According to The Times story, Young, while still running the digital side of Hearst Magazines, also made off comments about sex toys that had been sent to Cosmopolitan, including asking if he could keep one of them for himself and claiming he would "definitely need the larger one."
And he once sent porn to then-Esquire editor in chief Jay Fielden, the story said.
The report also recalled a story from a Young staffer about her uncomfortable interaction with Young at a holiday party. The woman told the paper she was describing a bad experience in which her date complained about his ex's odor. Young is reported to have replied that she should have inserted her fingers into herself and asked her date how he liked her smell.
oung, 52, said he denied the allegations as "either untrue, greatly exaggerated or taken out of context." As for the holiday party comment, which other staffers confirmed, Young said: "Candid conversations about sex defined the Cosmo brand for decades, and those who worked there discussed it openly."
