TV crew with Oprah turned away from shelter housing Maui fire survivors during media mogul’s visit

The statement from county officials came after the local Star Advertiser News initially reported that Winfrey, 69, and a CBS crew following her were denied entry because media are not allowed to enter the shelter.

Just days ago, Winfrey spoke on camera to the BCC inside the shelter about giving residents a helping hand.

Hundreds more remain unaccounted for.

Thousands of people have lost their homes and possessions as the fast-moving flames engulfed parts of the island last week, including the resort city of Lahaina, which was decimated.

The cause of the massive blaze is unknown, though lawyers investigating the fire reportedly believe it was caused by damaged power lines.

This is standard for every fire I’ve been on. Taking pictures is discouraged, sharing pictures is forbidden.

Better than paper towels after a hurricane. Still can’t believe that stupid move.

Oprah is probably hoping to scoop up some orphans for her pedo friends.

I heard Larry Ellison has already pledged a lot of money.

FYI, this is kind of funny. Larry gets pulled over on Lanai(the island he owns 98% of).

Instead of a self aggrandizing visit, why didn’t Oprah just give some of her millions to actually help the people who are suffering? She is nothing but an attention whore.

With her dough and TV channel, she can set up a sound stage and film herself “rescuing” the residents of Maui, giving the striking actors and writers a gig.

I noted when I went to go see Sound of Freedom, they showed a trailed for an update of “The Color Purple”.

Why?

Oprah is producing a musical version of the movie.
Probably not something the Sound of Freedom crowd would be anxiously awaiting.

Yeah, they don’t have homes, clothes, or food, so she’ll give them all free passes to the Barbie movie and a signed one of her books.

“”not once did I ever watch an Oprah show””

Rush often comments on ‘The Oprah’ and the media hype. When she left the Drive-By Media, the number of provable viewers plummeted. Rush posited that they were never there in the first place.
