Wow, this really isn't going away

CNN is interviewing pundits and issuing polls. Not verbatim, but I believe the question was "Should authors be held to the same standards as journalists?" What the heck is an "author"? Which standards? Didn't CNN used to be a news source? Ted Turner is rolling in his grave (what, waddaya mean "not dead"? Are you sure? Where's our fact checker?)

Also, A reader is suing Frey. According to the Reuters story, by a guy whose name happens to be Art(hur) Spiegelman:

"Saying they were acting on behalf of Pilar More, a mother of two, who felt cheated by the revelations about the truthfulness of "A Million Little Pieces," the Chicago law firm Dale and Pakenas filed suit in a Cook County, Illinois, court against the book's publishers, alleging consumer fraud."

The beauty part is that the suit seeks to launch a class action suit against Frey.
