WHOOPI GOLDBERG EMBARRASSED AND HURT BY THE NY TIMES'

Whoopi Goldberg is not happy about the NY Times failing to mention her in a Sunday article about Oscar winners. Whoopi won an Oscar in 1981 for the movie Ghost and she was nominated for her role in the Color Purple. Black actresses do not always recieve the respect they deserve. Sometimes they are often overlooked for certain roles, but for the NY Times to print this story without all the facts is absolutely unacceptable. The NY Times listed only 7 black actors to recieve an Oscar, but there have actually been 13 black actors. So what did Whoopi have to say?

"I am embarrassed to tell you it hurt me terribly," Goldberg said Monday on "The View." "When you win an Academy Award, that's part of what you've done, your legacy. I will always be Academy Award-winner Whoopi Goldberg."
Goldberg said she was "dismissed and erased" by the Times' top film critics and described the piece as "sloppy journalism." And to settle any doubts whether she's an Academy Award-winner, Goldberg pulled out her Oscar for the 1990 film "Ghost."

Check out the video as Whoopi weighs in on how disgusted she is with the NY Times. Elizabeth Hasselbeck was so upset she canceled her subscription. Do you think it was a genuine mistake or do you think her name was left off intentionally? Either way, are you concerned with the accuracy of The NY Times?
