Is Dr. Phil Evil?

The lead story at TNR today is that Dr. Phil is evil. The lead to the article asks: 'Is Phil McGraw destroying America?' Yikes.

I can't say that I know anything about Dr. Phil but I've noticed that alot of people totally loath the guy. I saw his show a couple of times and both shows were about the 'real desparate housewives'. The show seemed pretty typical of the daytime talk shows modeled on Oprah Winphrey's program.

So since I'm totally clueless in this regard can someone please explain to me what Dr. Phil did that was so terrible?

Thanks.
