Oprah Winfrey, whose support propelled "A Million Little Pieces" into the stratosphere of bestsellers, apologized to her national audience today for backing the memoir that contained falsehoods.
In the live broadcast, Winfrey also grilled the author, James Frey, whom she had previously defended.
"I made a mistake," Winfrey said at the beginning of her show, shown this morning in Chicago, according to a transcript prepared by ShadowTV, a website that monitors broadcasts. "I left the impression that the truth does not matter, and I am deeply sorry about that. But that is not what I believe.
In the spirit of today's show, will Oprah be apologizing soon for her Tom Cruise episode? Like you said, Oprah, "the truth does matter."
