Why do people continue to listen to Oprah?

This gentleman was recently on Oprah. I caught five minutes when I was at the gym yesterday. This stuff is unbelievable. This guy is preying upon people who have real problems. Notice that his website is his name and not the name of the suppossed "Techniques and philosophy her proposes." I wonder why no other psychiatrists are endorsing this guy? Where are the RCT's?? Now Oprah's brainwashed audience has a new Dr. Phil!!

When was the last time Oprah had somebody talking about CBT or Motivational Interviewing on her show?? At least something related to mental health that has some scientific validation!!

People listen to Oprah

People listen to Oprah because they are sad and desperate.

Unless they're at the gym, then they're probably hot, sweaty and short of televisual options.

Being rude and offensive to theists feels like payback.
It's a warm and yummy feeling in my tummy.

I quit watching Oprah when she came out against guns.  Course she is too preachy for me too.

Oprah is worthless just like

Oprah is worthless just like every other over-hyped American celeb...

 

People ask why I hate Oprah....It is an odd reason but really pisses me off...

 

When she has a Dr or someone on she is well spoken and does the interview and all...

 

If she has a Black person on it is always, "Giiiiiirl I havent seen you in soooo..long..shooot...Umm"  it is just stereotyped and cliche.

 

Just something odd that bothers me, be yourself, and def dont put out an image that endoreses a stereotype that in other circimstances you would be fighting against....

 

RANT OVER.
