Honestly, I'm not too concerned about Oprah's increase in popularity, I don't watch that kind of stuff, neither before nor after.
I suppose it does benefit somebody. I do wonder tho, we have enough kids here who have problems of their own. Crack babies and disabled people and retarded people, etc, etc. If you are like Hattie and say you don't want to give money to those who are not deserving, there are plenty that honestly need the help. Therefore to me, while you are right that it benefits someone, I think of it mostly as a plea for attention. Sounds more glamourous than if she built something for say the paralyzed or the crippled, etc, etc.
