Both.

So do the Simpsons'. I think it's a bit sad that many people feel the need to create a para-social relationship with a character on a tv screen and jump to their defence at the least hint of criticism (I don't mean you personally).
I've seen Oprah a few times on UK cable TV, and I'm pretty neutral about her - just another channel and another mouth gushing forth. I don't really care who she is. Even if she was God reincarnated, I would still switch off.
Perhaps, she is a soothing balm for some of the problems of the American masses at this time, and it helps get them through their day, I don't know.
However, the rest of the world has never heard of her.
