I agree with you on the publishers initial take. It seems, however, that even after a large number of discrepencies arose and were subsequently acknowledged by the publisher, they continued to push the book as a factual account. Actually, if you believe the facts as pushed in this article by slate: http://www.slate.com/id/2135069/?nav=tap3, the publisher could have called BS on the book as far back as 2003, which is way before Oprah recommended the book. The problem here isn't just check facts, but also acknowledging or at least investiagating the truth after reasonable doubt is raised. The publisher was just way to happy to continue to back this trash and collect money from this bullshit wanna be memoir then to add a simple disclaimer page to the beginning of the book. Screw Frey and screw the publisher.
