Well - not to defend Ambrose (I like his books personally, but have nothing to say beyond that) but: "Readers" were only pissed in the case you cite because Oprah told them to be. This was not a case of a readership incensed by a lack of integrity - this was (yet another case) of the cult of Oprah faithfully following their mistress. She told them to buy the book and love the author, then she told them to stop buying it and hate the author. They did and unfortunately it's no more complex than that.
