The Oprah Winfrey Show

In 1986, Oprah signed a deal with the devil where, for exactly 25 years, she would control every human being with a vagina.

A morbidly obese extremely narcissistic billionaire makes a show for women with nothing going on in their lives to inspire them to do great things. Of course, when your role model is Oprah, nothing will change. She says things like "dogs are my favorite role models" and "passion is energy." Accurately highlights how women don't know what to do with power so you see her doing dumb shit like giving people cars and throwing money at schools in Africa that later get charged with abuse scandals

The most cynical, sleaziest exploitation imaginable.

Self righteous uber-rich person with strong opinions attempts to function as a impartial advice-giver and knowledge dropper to people who weren't smart enough to know that she had no idea what she was talking about.

The depressing reality about this show is that there are people{mostly women} who watched this show daily and think that Oprah is a legitimate source of information for anything. On one end I can admire her accomplishments while facing adversity and her desire for philanthropy, but on the other end her entire show is a massive ego trip where she often pushes her agenda and those who disagree with her be damned. The show is also dangerous, such as when she pushes misconceptions about psychology.

Notable only for the sheer balls and willpower this woman has to make a fortune from nothing, on over sensationalized trash, but classed up with free car giveaways. There is a sort of dazed mania from the crowd that doesn't match whats going on on stage. It's quite disturbing at times.

Born in 1954 Mississipi, the first black female radio presenter at age 19, supporting Obama over Hillary, it is a remarkable achievement.

I love to hate this cunt

A sensationalistic talk-show that became something else as the host increasingly saw herself as a saint preaching from her televisual pulpit. I do recall one fascinating interview, however, with an ex-Black Panther, Geronimo Pratt, released from prison after having been wrongly imprisoned for many years, the personal and philosophical significance of which I once described in a lecture at Duke University: https://www.academia.edu/12687013/From_Philosophical_Cinema_to_Cinematic_Politics_2007_
