There is no way Oprah would back him if he had bad credentials. Remember

that she is one smart lady and he would have been researched by her huge staff

before even being allowed near her. However, everytime he makes outrageous

statements he generates mail which enhances his value to the network. It is

entertainment. This is only an entertainment show. I personally avoice these

I'm so disappointed in Couric for doing that show with him.

It's no different than if she had gone to him for help with her late
