I gather that Oprah is taped in the morning in Chicago but airs in most markets in the afternoon, as it does in New York (4 p.m., ABC). You might want to watch today's show. Here's the lede of a New York Times' story:
By EDWARD WYATT
In an extraordinary reversal of her strident and angry defense of the author whose book she catapulted to the top of the best-seller list, Oprah Winfrey said today she believed that the author James Frey "betrayed millions of people" by making up elements of his life in his best-selling memoir, "A Million Little Pieces."
She added that she believed "I made a mistake" when she said that the truth of the book mattered less then its story of redemption.
