The curious thing about the Frey business is how betrayed some of his readers seem to feel. True, no one likes being lied to (well, almost no one), and Frey did feed his readers a series of have-it-your-way whoppers. But "betray" is a powerful word; it not only grunts, it’s smellier than "deceive" and hairier than "cheat." Clinton and Scaramouche cheated; Judas and Brutus betrayed.
Judging from Oprah’s reactions, so did Frey.
Please. The man needs bouquets, not brickbats.
Frey’s invented a whole new class of literature. Call it "reality fiction."
