Money Face-Off: Oprah Winfrey vs. Martha Stewart

The two women are very different. Oprah want to lead you to what she thinks.Martha presents something to learn, if you choose to do so.At my age I know where I want to go,and I don't need someone to lead me. However, I want to learn something new every day, so I choose Martha.Oprah's trip accross the country was not something I chose to watch.

Martha couldn't carry Oprah's moldy jock strap!!!!

Martha: "LIED" to a Grand Jury. Shame.

I like to watch both, they both add to our lives. They both teach us. One through showing us Martha and one Oprah by having the experts. I think that having them both on TV is good. I have learned from them both. And I like Martha better know than before she went to jail. She is a happier person.

I prefer Martha over Oprah. Martha is a self-made empowered woman. She has worked hard for everything that she has and is, and is deserving of all that she has accomplished, and I admire her. She shows and teaches us that we can be empowered too. Anyone that doesn't like Martha, is either ignorant or jealous of her. She has given a lot to charitable causes but is a "silent" donor.

Both have accomplished much in many ways. I don't dislike Oprah, I don't go ga-ga over Martha.
Oprah is too hyper, Martha is more laid-back. I
rarely try to replicate what Martha does, but I enjoy watching her. She is gracious in old-fashioned way.

No contest! Which of these two savvy CEO's would I prefer to be in the company of if I get a boo boo?
Who could build us a shelter if stranded on some far distant lonely isle, have dinner prepared, flowers on the table. while meanwhile building a signal fire for our rescue? Why Mz. MS of course. (while I keep watch, zzzzz ;-)
Oh sure the oh so perfect Lady OW would probably be a great conversationalist, but so too is Mz. MS. However think about it, MS can and often does. Lady OW talks about it, is oh so saintly in her perfectionism of herself, why one could never quite achiever her out of reach standards. Mz. MS ain't perfect though she is certainly a perfectionist.
Then too, stranded on that isle minus hair and makeup artist-again no contest. We've all been rudely exposed to Lady OW minus most of that stuff she applies with a trowel, plus multiple wigs, extensions and the rest, yoik> Mz. MS is far more natural in all things.
Flip a coin in the brains department, each of these ladies is highly attractive for their intelligence, quite sexy in any women or man for that matter.
Me, just my opinion, I prefer a doer not a talker>Mz. MS wins my vote.....

Oprah has two personalities. One that talks about God, and giving to the less fortunate. And, one where she brags about the amount of money she extravagantly spends on "things" that she really doesn't need and that would help feed a lot of poverty level folks. She gives (with help), but not enough for all that she has. If she remembered her poor beginnings she would have more empathy.

AND, one other point about Oprah. I don't care that she is personal friends with Maria Shriver, John Travolta, Nelson Mandela, etc. I don't know who she is trying to impress with that ... it is certainly not me. You are not your friends! Sounds like she might be a little insecure that she feels it necessary to share that with everyone! NM has done great things for humanity, is actions speak loud and clear.

I just sat and read all the comments, I'm appalled
that there is still, so many people that will respond to something, and have not done their home work
before posting their comment aparently. most of the comments that I read should have not been allowed to even post.

i think both women do there things and to their advantage ,each one does work hard and no one has the right to knock the other i think oprah work very hard in what she does and martha does the same martha did something wrong paid for her mistake and sure learned by it i feel no one can judge until they walk in their shoes

I have only read one page of the comments and feel like one of the other persons that think this is rigged. I am 79 and read my daughers subscription to"Martha Steward Living" I really think she is a fake, if she did not have all the other people she employes to do for her like the garden etc. she would not be able to do it all alone. I do not think she is a complete fake but close . Oprah is a very kind thoughtful and intelligent person and I would take her over Martha because she gives very down to earth advice on everyday things that most people are interested in finding out about. Think I have written too much so will have to sign off OPRAH gets my vote

I think opra is the winner, I think Martha is a litlle much and she should be paying a little bit after she did brake the law,also i know she has been rude to severak=l people in person in the industry i see right thru her. at lrast opra is entertqaining. she doesn't claim to know all and she gets people on her show who are experts in thier fields so she doesn't have to fake being the know it all to all people get real opra is

I thing Oprah is the best persons I have none . She has given so much of herself to many others. With the show she has helped many people, I was on if them. Her shows are intresting, and very . I would rather l about the world than how to make cookies. Also the has great guest on the show. she all sides when she has guest, her wed site is great way to get info. I believe shouls get a pize for what she has do for children ,and adult. I think the world is better for having her. She also has great entertainent.

Many innocent Americans have lived the nightmare of incarceration when they did nothing wrong. These innocent Americans had a trial and a jury. Martha has lived that nightmare.

Martha was never before a grand jury and not a single word spoken by her was officially recorded. There was no true recorded evidence that she broke the law, that she did anything wrong or that she made a mistake. Obviously, she was targeted for publicity on bogus charges by a rogue prosecutor whose career then went on a meteoritic rise.

No matter what, they are both accomplished women, who have their ducks in a row. Neither one of them will ever have to worry about their next paycheck. I say "hooray for Martha and Oprah"

Oprah was born a poor child in Mississippi and Martha was born rich in Jersey City. Has anyone been to Jersey City???

I think that Opray is pretty full of Oprah. Once I was in her audience several years ago, I realized that and lost interest in watching her shows. However, I do recognize that has maintained a quality talk show. Being from Chicago, I am embarrassed that the Jerry Springer show is from here, as it appeals to the lowest common denominator and serves no purpose to humanity.
I also recognize that, though I am not a personal Oprah fan, she has done great things with her influence and her money. She is certainly a positive influence on society.
Martha Stewart however, has done nothing but promote Martha. She has built her empire on evil and wrongdoing. I will not watch a Martha show, nor shop in a store which sells any of her products.
I believe that the world needs to have values other than money and influence and would be a better place without her.
