Oprah fakes Katrina dogs rescue for TV.

It's bad enough she was down there exploiting the tragedy for ratings. But it's worse that she faked dog rescues to do it.

What she didn't tell viewers is that McConaughey and the Oprah crew jumped into the effort after two Dallas companies had already begun the rescue: Tenet Healthcare Corp. and Aviation Services Group Inc., which Tenet had hired to evacuate its hospitals.

The segment mentioned neither company nor any other rescuers.


...

Winfrey tells viewers he had been living there "without food and without water," even though Tenet had dropped enough to keep him and the animals going for days.


...

"As we landed, we knew we were in the right spot because there was literally a mountain of dog food," said Brent Hudspeth, who helped plan the pet rescue. "He had more dog food than he knew what to do with."


Shame on you, Oprah.
