Oprah just dumped Dr. Oz's radio show. Get lost white boy.

[Ending The Obama Era]

The Dr. Oz media empire just took a blow from the woman who
helped make him famous: Oprah Winfrey. According to New York
Daily News, "'The Daily Dose With Dr. Oz,' a 'radio minute'
produced by Oprah's Harpo Productions, will end May 29."

Even more interesting: Oz's spot, which aired on 150 stations,
may be replaced with "A Better Life With Dr. Sanjay Gupta" — the
CNN chief medical correspondent.

While there has been no explanation for the switch, the news
comes just over a week after Oz faced heavy criticism for
featuring questionable science on The Dr. Oz Show. The public
scorn has caused some to question whether Oz — who was a medical
expert on Oprah's show starting in 2004 — is now tarnishing
Oprah's legacy.

In particular, a group of doctors and professors from across the
country signed a letter addressed to Columbia's dean of medicine
— where Oz has a faculty position — calling the medical school's
affiliation with the TV star "unacceptable."

Their letter arose out of a chorus of concerns about the
increasingly questionable health advice featured on the show,
and the public health impact "America's Doctor" — arguably the
most powerful health voice in this country — has.

Dr. Oz fired back with a counterattack — but many pointed out
the ad hominem nature of his defense. He mostly tried to steer
the conversation away from his misuse of science and toward the
conflicts of interest some of the doctors who wrote the letter
had.

Oz then also claimed that his show is not a medical one. "We
very purposely, on the logo, have ‘Oz' as the middle, and the
‘Doctor' is actually up in the little bar for a reason," he said
in a TV interview. "I want folks to realize that I'm a doctor,
and I'm coming into their lives to be supportive of them. But
it's not a medical show."

This only prompted more criticism. HBO's John Oliver pointed out
some of the problems with Oz's arguments:

Let’s be clear: The First Amendment protects Americans against
government censorship, and that’s it. It does not guarantee you
the right to simultaneously hold a faculty position at a
prestigious private university and make misleading claims on a
TV show.

It absolutely protects you to say whatever you like on it, just
as it protects my right to say what I think about you on mine,
which is this: You are the worst person in scrubs who has ever
been on television—and I’m including Katherine Heigl in that. Do
you have any idea how difficult it is to be worse than Katherine
Heigl? You are also the admittedly handsome ringmaster of a
middling mid-afternoon snake-oil dispensary and it says
something that even when you do a show with seven fake models of
human feces, the biggest piece of shit on the stage has his name
in the title.
