I'm very sorry for your sister and the loss your family has experienced. It looks like Oprah can be a nice person to her employees or friends. The problem is she is trusted as a “great mind” and promoted as someone we should hold on high when in truth she is a feel-good tv host that has no business on a (supposed) hard news show. We live in an age of celebrity over intellect and critical thinking unfortunately. I watched Oprah in HS with my mom— and then she developed an ego that told her that her views and feelings were more important than actual fact.

In my ‘drunken past’ in this forum I have trashed Oprah with passion.

I’m not going to agree with her views on many issues at any time, but looking into her background I see something bad happened to her early in life.

She was used sexually by a relative.

That’s one common experience I share with her.

Her insanity in terms of liberalism in her mainstream media stardom and my not so liberal insanity in my not so star studded media experiences including this forum I like to think of as a common experience, too.

My sense is that Oprah needs some sobriety and sanity in her life to help her withdrawal from the political insanity.

She seems to have sought it in her lifetime but I sense she hasn’t found it yet.
