    Let’s not forget to thank Oprah Winfrey for platforming Playboy centerfold/medical doctor Jenny McCarthy and her anti-vax nonsense in the 2000s also.

          Yup, like so many other exploitative and oppressive groups (conservatives, transphobes, racists, and so on), part of their schtick is playing the victim not only for the sake of their own cognitive dissonance, but also to use as a veil of innocence and obliviousness to hide their true intentions behind.

            True, the oppressors are really good at controlling the narrative as they have resources to keep up the lies and half-truths.

      Don’t forget Larry King. That guy famously gave her a lot of airtime in front of a lot of eyeballs.

      He was famous for be lazy AF and never fact checking his guests.
