Fuck Phil McGraw. He's a dumb prick who actively makes the world a worse place with his bottom of the barrel trashy TV shows.
Good news.
You mean dr. Phil the guy who invented the bum fights video series back in the early 2000s?
There's zero reason to take credit away from the bum fights guy for his own brand of trash, but you can definitely say you mean Dr. Phil, the guy who saw profit and value in doing a bit with the bum fights guy for views.
You are correct. They are equal parts trash, one just had a national TV show he spewed his "folksy" wisdom on.
They both exploit desperate people for profit, but one of them is honest about doing so. The other one is just misery porn camouflaged as therapy.
I agree but that's not his worst evil on our society. It's the torture camps he sent kids to and promoted.
It's shocking just how evil normal every day things are. We gotta shut down all those camps
