The story that was on
CNN was along the following lines:
Quote:
The store said the incident occurred on June 14 around 6:45 p.m., about 15 minutes after the store closed. It said Winfrey and her team arrived at a time when "a private PR event was being set up inside."
Harpo Productions spokeswoman Michelle McIntyre said Winfrey "will discuss her 'crash moment' when her show returns from hiatus in September."
"Crash" is a film dealing with race relations. The phrase "crash moment" refers to situations where a party feels discriminated against on the basis of skin color.
......
The Daily News reported Winfrey had gone to the store to buy a watch for singer Tina Turner, her dining partner that night.
.....
The New York Post, in its Monday Page Six gossip column, reported she was turned away because the store had been "having a problem with North Africans lately."
.....
"There was never any discussion of North Africans," she said. "The story is not true."
.....
Surveillance videotape of the encounter supports the store's account, according to the spokeswoman.

I don't know about you, but I personally am not going to take the NYPost's word on anything, with out hearing it from 2 or 3 other sources first.
