A Takedown of Billionaire Oprah Winfrey
Regarding Brennan's prompt on the latest episode of Make Some Noise. Obviously, Brennan gave the funny response, which was hilarious.
However, if anyone was interested in an actual takedown of Oprah Winfrey, may I point you towards the podcast Behind the Bastards. For over seven hours, Robert Evans (former writer at Cracked) explains and analyses the life and crimes of Oprah Winfrey.
Despite the title, these episodes are fairly nuanced, but ultimately highlight how the irresponsible decisions of Oprah's career led to a surprising amount of harm to American society. Despite a sympathetic rags to riches beginning, there's no ethical way to make a billion dollars.
Plus! A bonus compilation of episodes about bastards that Oprah has enabled and launched the careers of.
Also, this series shows how a white guy can criticise a billionaire from a marginalised group without being bigoted. Again, I think Brennan made the best call based on how the prompt was written. But it's worth reiterating to avoid the pitfalls of capitalism with progressive marketing.
