Oprah Just Stuck Her Head Back In The Sand - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Emmsmom · 04-22-2008, 04:00 AM

I have never liked her. I do like to watch Dr.Oz when he is on the show. As far as I am concerned she is a fake person and has definately let the money and fame go to her head.

I believe all of her power and money has gone to her head. She has sold out in a major way over the years. Its terribly sad. I havent watched her in years. She made a couple of very rude remarks years back and I havent had anything to do with her since. I do pray for her though.

I was disappointed in her too. Her attitude seemed placid a person needs to be passionate about something to move forward and it wasn't there.Itseemed she was more interested in sponsoring a kennel in her dogs name and having it redone than the reality of the shelter itself. Sad so the fight goes on!

The problem I have with Oprah, and this is coming from a man's perspective, is that she doesn't do anything without her camera's being there. She may give a lot of money and do a lot of donations but she is doing it all for the wrong reasons. She does not truly care about the television show subjects she is talking about. She cares about 2 things. Money and ratings.

I am disapointed with Oprah also

maybe we should tell her how we feel? She heard from a few store owners maybe she should here from a few Yorkie owners..

I have no respect for Oprah. I think she is a phony and a sell-out. She can't seem to do anything without the cameras rolling. She is all about money and ratings. She likes to think she has so much influence on what the average american thinks, right down to what books to recommend for them to read or what presidential candidate to vote for. I can think for myself, but thank you anyway, Oprah.

Yep, everyone should write her a letter or email.

I'm not really a fan of Oprah, but I don't have a problem with her either. However, I'm glad she did the show about puppymills and I think it did a lot of good. I've seen a lot more awareness from my friends - one even posted a facebook note about it. While we may not agree with the way Oprah handles her life and show, I'm super glad she did the show about puppymills. I don't really care if she "cares" or not.

lisa08 · 04-23-2008, 12:56 PM

While I'm not a fan of the update, I wholly appreciate and respect the fact that she did a show like this and brought some much need attention to the not so well known subject of puppy mills.

Bella's Mommy · 04-23-2008, 01:35 PM

IMO oprah is way overrated anyway

PrestigeousYT · 04-23-2008, 01:40 PM

OH this is just great to hear.
She is like a puppet on a string.
Saying whatever for ratings sake
Sad!!!!!

I don't watch her and never have & didn't see either segment - but - I DO know she touched people that were totally clueless about the reality of Mills.... and for that - she gets an A in my book -

now, if she backpedaled - shame on her.

She should be taking it to another level with the power she has and GET INVOLVED IN STOPPING Mills - not just talking about it once or twice.

Considering this topic needs to be out there MORE ....at least she did a show about the horrible conditions of mills and what pet stores are actually all about -

as much as my mom has heard about mills from me - it took an OPRAH show to really bring it home - she even called me saying she had no idea it was THAT bad in this country....so that's saying something...guess my mom doesn't listen to me but she sure listens to Miss Oprah LOL

So....if she's backpedalling - write the show !! The power of people can make a difference and yes - you will be heard.

I agree. She has always rubbed me the wrong way.
