Do you think Oprah is more like a cult leader?

Answer 1

Yes, I kind of think of her as a "cultish" leader, myself.
There is something about her that makes 90% percent of the women in her audience (with 10% being men), listen to everything that she says. If oprah is mad at someone, then her audience is mad at them as well.
Case in point, that author who wrote that book that inspired her to tell her audience members that they should go out there, buy this book because she said that the book was going to be on her reading list and that she recommends it. Well, before you know it, that book was on the New York Time's bestseller's list and he was interviewed. Then, what happened? He lied-well, overly exaggerated-and she tore him a new one. If she was a little more sympathetic and asked why he lied and did he do this because he wanted to be on the show, then the audience would say " You know, Oprah let him know that lying was not good but told him to write fiction instead of wanting to write what he said was truth. That he was very good at being a writer." Whatever. The audience would have agreed with her. What she says, go.

Answer 2

I liked Oprah but i don't understand why she would have shows about racism and then be on t v saying the white people the black people, she sounded very harsh, she said quote...i find it very funny now that the white people all of a sudden have some thing to say about me starting this school. And no i don't think shes a cult leader.

Answer 3

shes now not a cult chief she is a media icon. human beings replace on her quite straight away even as she crosses the line like the red meat challenge. an impressive sort of human beings that were and although are avid travellers acknowledged immediatley that she had crossed a line or possibly in the journey that they appreciate her precise freedom of expression they were now not prepared to blindly settle for that she replace into precise. which will be a cult leaders result. it truly is going to have exceeded off for some yet quite now not the vast majority. Her followers were already conscious of bse from britain and the full u . s . a . replace into scared now not basically her followers. if oprah receives a million and a a million/2 travellers in an afternoon she is fortunate. that repesents a million/3 hundredth or .3% of the inhabitants there is not any way that statistically insignificant form affected red meat prices by itself. she basically doesnt weild that plenty potential. she will be able to be able to get human beings to purchase and skim books yet even as the books were consistently undesirable then she might want to lose credibility in a rush. dont bow down in the previous her

Answer 4

Oprah speaks, people listen. Cult like? I'd say she's more like a religion!

Answer 5

Yes. But I WILL NOT follow Oprah

Answer 6

Kind of. I know I have lost a lot of respect for her over the last year or so starting with the fancy store fiasco where she pitched a fit. And the school?! What is she thinking? She could have built ten schools for what she spent on that one! People follow her because of who she is not for what she stands for. I think she is a racist myself. She really doesn't care for old white women at all.
