    Fuck Oprah.

    Her sanctimonious bullshit brought us Dr. Oz, Dr. Phil, and Jenny McCarthy.

    Her ‘listening platform’ has probably lead directly to the deaths of tens of thousands of people.

      I believe she’s also the largest one of the largest land owners in Maui where many locals are facing homelessness due to the fires.

      Edit: she owns around 1000 acres.

        No. The State of Hawaii is the largest landowner on Maui, followed by the real estate company Alexander and Baldwin. Do not spread misinformation please.

      “But she’s so empowering!” the fans will say, nevermind the fact that she only seems to “empower” fraudsters.

      Would you rather, receive open heart surgery performed by Oz, Phil with Nurse McCarthy, or receive lethal injection administered by Dr Phil?

      This shouldnt be a hard question, but…

        Nah, nah, nah. Easy choice. I’d go with the lethal injection because I think that there’s a much greater chance Phil would fuck up killing someone (easy, all things considered), rather than the three of them succeeding in something difficult. Simply because none of them are qualified to do anything but blather idiocy into a camera

          Iirc Dr. Oz used to be quite the renowned heart surgeon. Makes it even more tragic that he chose this life as a charlatan giving harmful advice, instead of using his talent for good.

        I would definitely let Dr. Oz do heart surgery on me. Similarly, I’d definitely let Ben Carson do brain surgery on me.

        And the second either of them started talking about anything other than my surgery, I’d tell them to shut the fuck up.

          They’ve been out of the medical field for so long though. I wouldn’t trust them to know the current State of the Art in their fields. A lot has changed since they last practiced.
