"You can't handle the truth!!!"
The truth is until the whole thing blew up in her face, Oprah didn't care in the least that she was foisting lies.
And that attitude has done the MSM a whole lotta good, hasn't it?
There are none so blind...
Hey Orca, how about you do a little fact checking before you give a book a million dollars worth of free publicity.
" "An author brings a manuscript saying it represents the truth, and that relationship is one of trust," says Ms. Tale"
You've got to be kidding me.
Is their reputation worth so little?
Will they publish anything based on trust with NO verification? Or is it because they liked what they read and published it because of that? Truth is costly, eh? Well having NO credibility is deve$tating. Liars tend to leave a bad taste in your mouth.
Um, no. When it first made the rounds of publishing houses as a work of fiction, no one would touch it.
Unlike journalists, publishers have never seen it as their purview to verify that the information in nonfiction books is true.
So, they care nothing for the reputation of their name?
Oh, please ... with the price they charge for books today they are pleading poverty? Nonsense!
yaeh..like we WANT to pay for rumors.......
American self-esteem training at work. Try telling someone that their judgement is poor.
What a sad, self-serving view!
The reality, that as a result, they are "pushing" fiction as non-fiction seems to totally evade their limited view of integrity: perpetrating a fraud and using the lame excuse of "profit margin" as justification.
The really maddening and permanent result is that many of these "non-fiction" books push lies and propaganda as reality, and after it is repeated often enough, it is presumed "fact" in the Hilary" sense:
...they studied Hillary's speechmaking method to understand her power and success. They concluded: her trick was never actually to make any arguments -- just state conclusions that were all already accepted as self-evident by her audience.
