Whoopi Goldberg slams NY Times

Whoopi Goldberg blasted the New York Times today for not mentioning her in a Sunday article about black Oscar winners.

"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." Watch below, via Business Insider: It's true that the Times didn't mention Goldberg. And clearly she was offended by the omission. But did the Times make a factual error?

The Times films critics described how Denzel Washington and Halle Berry won Oscars in 2002, before noting in the following paragraph that the Academy "had given statuettes to a total of seven black actors in the previous 73 years."

It would be incorrect to claim that only seven black actors have ever won the award, which is apparently how Barbara Walters read the piece. But the Times is correct that only seven won the award before 2002.

Either way, Elisabeth Hasselbeck is siding with her co-host and said Monday that she canceled her subscription.

A Times spokeswoman declined to respond to criticism on "The View."
