Commenting on “Big Oprah investment is a canny move”
Many American television program presenters have more dynamic personality; in addition, the warm-up people in the shows seem to be doing a much better job than here to excite the audience. Even talk back shows and late night marketing segments can be fun to watch and to some extent I would regard them as inspirational and motivational.
Not only does Oprah give away generously large part of her wealth, she also gets many sponsors to provide gifts or samples to her audience - from McDonald’s burgers to expensive items like cars.
I do watch her shows whenever possible. There are always enough segments to attract my attention – some make me laugh, some make me cry, and most importantly, I feel that there is hope in the world to rid off illiteracy and ill health if Oprah’s actions and deeds can “infect” other good Samaritans to do likewise.
Oprah appears genuine and sincere and lacks the air of arrogance, but not perfect. Yes, she did lose a fair bit of weight, but has put some back on.
