would you expect anything different from oprah? just because she sounds like an understanding housewife doesnt mean she's not a media/drugwar cronie. The woman is pure evil, and she's the human manifestation of republican propaganda aimed at the liberal female demographic. she's just like the 10'clock news, exept for housewives who care more about their household than world news. all she does is scare, scare, scare, and cause problems in households by CREATING the fucking problems. It's the same principle of parents sending their kids to programs for just smokin a little pot. the media (with the help of oprah and other rightwing numbnuts...or numbtits) just scares parents into thinking a, b, c, and d are huge problems, which must be eliminated, when in reality none of these things are truly issues. Essentially, she makes little things into big deals and then fucks up peoples lives when they listen to her.
and about that school, it was just a publicity stunt to reach out to an international audience. period. she doesnt give a flying fuck about some little girl's allegations as long as her viewership keeps going up. thats the reality of the TV bussiness - i know it intimately.
