Fair enough-no one is accusing Frey of being a journalist. However, I have a problem with the fact that Frey presented this a memoir-implying that it was non fiction- and clearly, it is not.
There is a big difference between hyperbole and outright lying. Either Frey served 3 months in jail or he did not. I don't know how 'his version' that he did when he did not can be seen as anything other than a flat-out lie.
