Character Evaluation
Oprah Winfrey positive review
Oprah Winfrey showed a strong female image before and after the screen, becoming a role model for many mature women and young girls
. Although the talk show was not originally created by Oprah Winfrey, she took the talk show to a new level with her enthusiasm and intimacy

It is watched by 42 million viewers from 145 countries around the world every week, and has been ranked in the talk show category for 16 consecutive years.

Oprah Winfrey negative reviews
Oprah and the interviewed guests cried and laughed together, bringing highly personal emotional responses to the show; Oprah’s way of doing shows with highly personal emotions, being personal, also means being out of mind, Being sincere, but on the other hand, also means not being objective enough, or even full of orientation. If played as entertainment, the show must be interesting and full of fun, but when the story’s words and angles are controlled, the thoughts that people hear the story may be another kind of "passively seen truth" "
.
Character Dispute
In 2019, the 36-year-old dancer Robertson, who proved his innocence when the "King of Pop" MJ was accused of child molestation, and another Safichuk who also proved his innocence, made a documentary together. Alleged that MJ was suspected of child molestation. The two claimed that they had been violated at the age of 7 and 10, and they had repeatedly filed different lawsuits against the Michael Jackson Estate Management Committee and related companies within a few years, and claimed against them. The " child-prostitution incident " that had been proven innocent once again caused concern. The insiders all stood up and accused the documentary of falsification, and many people were dissatisfied with the documentary, but Oprah immediately invited the two accusers to do the show and directly stood in line to support it, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the people.
Someone also found out the video when he came to MJ’s Neverland Farm as a guest and interviewed in February 1993.
