Oprah should do what I do. Have other people read the books for her and turn them into movies. It only costs about 15 dollars per book.

For all her wealth and power Oprah seems to be an easy target for people writing made up BS and trying to pass it off as authentic.

Oh, I don''t know...2 or 3 incidences ( I count Dr. Phil as a bad pick too) in over 30 years of being on the air is not that bad a track record. Guess it is the risk she takes for trying to lift others up--sooner or later, some of her "projects" are bound to not live up to the hype.

Oh brother. Now "stories" have to be true? They should have repackaged it as simply fiction, loosely based on the events in his life. That way, it could still have been written in the first person, but some of the information could be embellished or changed.

Since when do stories have to be the "whole truth and nothing but the truth" When we said people are "telling a story" it used to be a euphemism for them making stuff up. Now, too many stories read like research papers --complete with tons of filler pages from other reliable or encyclopedic sources--even though the fvcking story is just supposed to be entertainment.

To sockpuppet4: Your third grade level spelling and grammar are really a hoot. "Those that doubt history are damned to repeat it".

"The cancellation is sure to outrage survivors and scholars, who have worried that Rosenblat would encourage Holocaust deniers, and likely revive the debate over why publishers don''t fact check books."

The encouragement of "Holocaust deniers" is not something that can be prevented, and will happen even if this one guy had not invented a series of lies in the pursuit of lucre.

Those people who hate would have used another excuse if this story had not come about; the evil that springs from the soul of humanity is ever resourceful.

If anything, the fact that this story might encourage holocaust deniers is just more anecdotal evidence of how greed and hate feed off of each other.
