First, didn’t buy the book, I hate reading about others who wallow in their ’shit’. But I do appreciate Oprah stepping up to apologize and take the author, James Frey to task. I also like that she didn’t let the editor off the hook either. But what is a bit annoying is that people are going out to buy the book again. So it seems to be true, no press is ‘bad’ press.

Also, TheSmokingGun.com has the 411 on the fiasco if you want to get the facts: http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/0104061jamesfrey1.html
