Robert Evans: 奥普拉对当代媒体潮流影响深远，她将"真实性"塑造成媒体人物的优点，并塑造了Gen Z追捧的媒体形象。她对美国文化变迁的影响深远，虽然她并非对所有负面结果负责，但她的行为确实为这些变化做了铺垫，例如她对心理治疗概念的普及和自助运动的助长，以及对个人与政治议题融合的强调。 Bridget Todd: 奥普拉擅长将个人经历与政治议题融合，这种方式极具感染力，促使观众积极参与互动，例如在"我也是"运动兴起之前，就鼓励观众分享性侵犯经历。 Andrew T.: 奥普拉的节目将心理治疗的概念带入日常生活中，虽然治疗本身有价值，但其在节目中的呈现方式却是一种模拟，而非真正的临床治疗，并导致了其滥用。人们对心理健康的讨论日益增多，这本身有价值，但其被滥用和武器化，这与奥普拉节目中对心理治疗的呈现方式有关。奥普拉的节目助长了一种有害的自助运动，认为改变态度就能解决所有问题，这忽略了社会和政治因素的影响。
