Oprah faces $1 trillon lawsuit

[oldrambler]

No problem, this will all be settled by Obama with a nice little sit down over a couple of beers because Damon Lloyd Goffe is acting so stupidly. Beer Summit II, coming to a news media outlet near you.

"Because the truth is, some of what Oprah promotes isn't good, and a lot of the advice her guests dispense on the show is just bad. The Suzanne Somers episode wasn't an oddball occurrence. This kind of thing happens again and again on Oprah. Some of the many experts who cross her stage offer interesting and useful information (props to you, Dr. Oz). Others gush nonsense. Oprah, who holds up her guests as prophets, can't seem to tell the difference. She has the power to summon the most learned authorities on any subject; who would refuse her? Instead, all too often Oprah winds up putting herself and her trusting audience in the hands of celebrity authors and pop-science artists pitching wonder cures and miracle treatments that are questionable or flat-out wrong, and sometimes dangerous.Because the truth is, some of what Oprah promotes isn't good, and a lot of the advice her guests dispense on the show is just bad.

She was dead on when she named Graters as the best ice cream. But it ends there.

That was sort of the joke that Conan did last night on the Tonight Show. He stated that Oprah's response would be, "Do you have change for 3 trillion?" :lol:

 

I believe it was.

 

"Do you have change for a zillion?" With a smile, of course.

 

I like Oprah.

[Jim Schue]

I've never quite understood the ire against Oprah.

 

That being said, if she plagiarized, she should have to pay, though I think $1 trillion might be a tad steep. :lol:

 

Duh! Because she's evil!

[True blue (and gold)]

Duh! Because she's evil!

 

Ohhhhhhh.....I forgot!

 

Actually, I guess I do understand. It's a partisan thing. No big deal, I guess.

 

I do think that it's silly to wish ill on the woman. Make her pay for any plagiarism, yes, but to hope that she gets stuck for it? Hmmmmmm.

I remember when Oprah was an anchor in Baltimore for WJZ in the 1970s.

How about Oprah in Nashville many years ago?

Wasn't she the waittress on What's Happening, too?

With me, partisanship has nothing to do with it. She frightens me because of her cult-like status. She wields way too much influence for a talk-show host. The only other TV personality I've ever seen to have that broad an influence was Walter Cronkite, but I never once questioned his motives for the things he did.

I LOVED it when Rerun would start dancing. That was a great show.

I personally admire the kind of charity work where people do not want their name mentioned and are doing in from their heart and not to pad their own ego or bank account.

 

 

Have you ever thought that Oprah could raise a lot more money by attaching her name to it than by leaving it off?
