Why do we expect corporate America to be truthful?

Oprah’s desecration and destruction of James Frey’s book and James Frey himself is so ridiculous. I love Oprah. I looooooove Oprah. I want her to be president. But to go on the air for the sole purpose of humiliating James Frey was uncalled for. Memoirs are an account of a particular time of someone’s life according to their memory, their perception, their emotional state. Even though the media and “common” knowledge say otherwise----the brain is NOT like a computer. The brain is such a complex organ we can not begin to compare it another thing real or imagined. A computer only does what we tell it. No more. No less. It’s ones and zeros. It can’t doing anything its not programmed to do. It records things just as they are or how we make them. The brain doesn’t do this. Memories are not like saved Word documents. Memories are not like hidden temp files. Memories are not stored chronologically or categorically. His memory may be flawed. He has embellished. But don’t we all do this to make a better telling of a story? Of course, the book mega-publishing giant did not check facts. They knew whether it was labeled memoir or fiction or non-fiction or “based on a true story”--- it was going to sell. Selling is the business they are in. Not truth telling. Not human transformation. Not building a better world or national community. They want to make MONEY. Money is the motivation of corporate America. They don’t care about the world or the lies they tell to make it (money). Money is their god. The acquisition of money is the goal. We haven't required corporation (who we give human-like status) human responsibility, human accountability. James Frey’s book is what it is: a book. If it helps you, good. If it doesn’t, find something else. James Frey is not an evil person. He’s not the Christ-like figure America wants to make everyone it becomes enamored with. He’s a man. He’s a man that made a mistake. One of his truthful anecdotes turned into a somewhat tall tale. In the south we would call him “Pappaw.”
