Oprah accused ofn show editor as scapei rmine coir® Winfrey AMARILLO (AP)—The person responsible for editing on Oprah Winfrey show on mad cow disease said the talk-show host told him to “cut that boring beef guy out,” ac cording to a former senior producer of the program. LaGrande Green, who was fired from the “Oprah Winfrey Show" last summer, testified that lames Kelley, the producer in charge of edit ing an episode on mad cow dis ease, told him Winfrey wanted statements by Gary Weber of the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association edited out. Weber had said on the show that cattle groups had asked for a voluntary ban on feeding ground up cattle parts to cattle herds. But that statement was edited out of the show. “He (Kelley) said Oprah said. ‘Cut that boring beef guy out. He’s rambling on and on and on,’” Green said. In testimony videotaped in De cember and played for jurors Mon day, Green said Kelley had told him Winfrey blamed Kelley for poor editing of the show titled "Danger ous Foods” and for causing a $10.3 million slander lawsuit filed by Texas cattlemen. “He (Kelley) said that Oprah was blaming him and that he felt like a scapegoat,” Green said. Charles Babcock, an attorney for Winfrey, attempted to show Green as a disgruntled former em ployee who was let go, in part, be cause he is a self-admitted sex ad dict who frequently left the Harpo Production studios to go to adult book stores. "As a former sexual-abuse vic tim, I consider myself a sexual ad dict and sometimes felt the need to leave the building and go to an adult bookstore or walk around,” Green said. When Babcock asked him if that was affecting his performance on the job, Green said “a lot of things were affecting my performance.” When Babcock asked him if he was upset about being let go, Green said: “I felt it was little unfair.” Earlier, a vegetarian activist who made alarming i mad cow disease one lied that hisstateme: on research that ii roughly 180 scienti [Q In two days oft. cattlemen’s attornev man, head of the Hu: LatingWith Conscie: ( nine under fire for Iexg that feeding ground mains to cattle herds Aul gei U.S. beef to thl despite hav ingnevet the | led the disease. id' Under questionSa.o^ ov\ n attorneys, Lynsrs t attle rancher,said ie u ere based on roi er is t die articles he h; rur mail eow by thetimeb sl ] on the show. i, tal I lu- fatal brain-site if ease, km iwn scien® s to I spongiform encepks sol ravaged cattle herds rintf tlet ade Ii is blaiHf ed ii| human deaths over hni Mad 11 iw diseasekr, oil faced in the United f M;| livestock or humans try i Cattlemen’s atton ibral to show Lyman was s I’\ viewers against beef mg.
