    Oprah and Doctor Phil and their consequences…

    I still vaguely remember back in the day when Oprah platformed “the Secret” and brought all this “manifesting” drek in to public view. Oprah has used her massive viewrship to cause incomprehensible damage over the years.

    Her story really would be fascisating from a Marxist perspective. The way her platform gave her such an enormous soap box from which to steer and influence culture, and the ways that she and the systems that supported her show chose to use that soap box.
