My secret shame.

I like Oprah. I watch her show at home when I'm taking a break (telecommuter).

I enjoy it immensely. 85% of it is good stuff. 15% just a little too fluffy (specifically the feminist "find your spirit stuff" which goes over my male head).

In Ireland, we call this kind of criticism "begrudery". Bitter people with bitter agendas. What have any of her critics (in this thread) done lately for the less fortunate?

In Australia, they call this kind of criticism "tall poppy syndrome" (as in, "let's cut any tall poppies, that rise above the rest of us, down to size").

I think she rocks.
