For the past few weeks every where I turn I see a million people going to pieces over some mistruth's in A Million Little Pieces. People are shocked to find that a former drug addict may have embellished the truth. Maybe he did. Maybe he didn't. Which really is not the point. In the larger scope of life who was hurt by his embellishments. Other than Oprah's ego of course. Big picture no one was hurt. Regardless of the twists in his tale he is still a junky who kicked the habit.
On the the other end of the spectrum Natural Cures They Don't Want You To Know About has been a best seller for more than six months. The author has done time for fraud. He has been investigated, fined and punished by the FCC for misleading people. Yet no one is questioning how many people could be hurt for real if they ignore practical medical care and instead sleep with a magnent under their bed or where white more often to prevent illness.
Someone needs to step back and recheck or priorities. Author number two has the potential to do quite a bit more damage than author one. Yet he receives a pass from the mainstream media while author one is being roasted over the coals.
