Oprah - Money maker or Child Saver?

Ok so tonight on MSN Tristan and I got into a heated discussion about my recent Oprah postings. What do you think?..... Am I just caught up in the whole media scheme of things? haha


Tristan: yeah and the sick thing is that something like that happens and the ones who really benefit from it are oprah and her cash cow of a show

Candice: ARE YOU SERIOUS?, she is trying to change the whole system

Tristan: sure they put a couple guys away, but it doesnt even come close to comparing to what it does for her publicity wise

Candice: what? Oprah doesnt need anymore publicity, she is using her money to change the US system, so that these guys are put away for life as soon as they sexually offend once, rather than going out and raping and killing a child, or worse.
No money or publicity compares to saving a childs life

Tristan: i dont disagree about saving lives yadada, I would respect it a lot more if it was a personal issue to her and she did it privately, or at least without flaunting it on her show

Candice: she is one of the only people who can reach out to everyone on this issue, her show is viewed worldwide, she doesnt need any more money, she is sick of seeing kids sacrificed by these sick men

Tristan: more endorsments, wider audience, more advertising revenue

Candice: Okay well Im getting frusterated here, I disagree with you on this issue

Tristan: sorry, I dont want to argue

Wow! Candice I agree with you. Who would possibly care about Oprah getting more publicity over saving the life of even ONE child. If Oprah didn't do this, that one guy would still be living above three children, all of whom easily could have been raped or worse by that man. Of course she is going to use the fact that she is a public figure! How else can you catch these perves without posting it on INTERNATIONAL television! Hello! So my take is: CHILD SAVER!

Hmmmmm. this wasnt taken out of context! Oh, and it doesnt actually have anything to do with her making money. The whole discussion was about the influence of advertising on TV programs. Oprah was an example!
Tristan.
