Sadly oprah was my first thought

I have to say I have never cared a whole lot for her. Some of the stuff she promotes I object to, sometimes strongly. I also think her ego eclipses the sun. I also don't much care for her personality.

Maybe if she walked up stairs she wouldn't be a fat tub of goo.

"The image of Oprah as America's benevolent earth mother"

First of all, who ever said she had that image? Oprah is ok in my book, does some good stuff, some stuff I don't agree with. But one thing she is good at is making money! But I have never heard her or anyone else refer to her as America's benevolent earth mother.

I think this author is making a strawman just to make her argument. Guess she want's to sell a book or something.

Oh noes! Oprah has a stuck up celebrity attitude! Stop the presses, this is important!
