So, apparently we did not receive the memo in regards to the David Carr/Bonnie Fuller/Jeff Jarvis CNN appearance yesterday. Unlike the Screen Actors Guild awards, this is something we actually would have watched.

And while some big shot web publishers and movie stars might have TiVo and DVR, us lowly writers out in the boondocks of Brooklyn don't even know if those two things are the same or different. Hell, our cable package doesn't even include Bravo!

However, our uber internet savvy skills aligned to dig up the CNN transcript from yesterday's episode of Reliable Sources, which so fittingly portrayed a Bonnie Fuller truthiness versus James Frey truthiness, all while attacking Oprah.

We're not really sure if David Carr is just nodding, and asking himself "why am I on this show?" or not, but Howard Kurtz interviewing bloggers and tabloid queens about Oprah's reliability is almost too much to take. Choice quotes, plus the link to the transcript, after the jump.

KURTZ: Bonnie Fuller, was this a big blunder by Oprah, particularly after the book had been revealed to be a sham? And has she redeemed herself, like so many of her guests over the years, by going after the author?

BONNIE FULLER, EDITORIAL DIRECTOR, AMERICAN MEDIA: It was a huge blunder for Oprah. I know that "Star's" readers were absolutely appalled by what she did. And, in fact, we went on her Web site and we had a hard time finding any comments from her regular fans who adore her in support of Oprah.

However, that has totally turned around since her Thursday show. In fact, there was a poll this morning in "The New York Post" in which 86 percent of New Yorkers say that they now believe that Oprah has, in fact, redeemed herself and they like her better than ever.

KURTZ: David Carr, do you think that ultimately Oprah Winfrey caved to the pressure of "The New York Times" editorials and these various columnists denouncing her for seeming not to care that The Smoking Gun Web site had exposed this book as an utter fraud?

DAVID CARR, "NEW YORK TIMES": Well, if Oprah caved, I think it would be the first time in her history. I think Oprah manages herself and her brand more carefully than almost anybody in the whole entertainment landscape. And I think it became clear to her that it wasn't just Mr. Frey's reputation that was at risk, but that it was her own.

And so she came straight at it, and I thought it was a tour de force in terms of her ability to take the situation and turn it into a win, as the poll number indicates. Nobody knows that art better than Oprah.

KURTZ: Jeff, Oprah essentially created James Frey as a best- selling author. Did she do the right thing by ripping him apart in the end?

JEFF JARVIS, BUZZMACHINE.COM: I think she appalled with holding his body in front of her for the stones that would follow. You know, Oprah's haughty ethicism I think is a little disingenuous.

Let's not forget that Oprah has often forgotten, in fact, that Oprah was the one that trashed daytime TV … Then finally she came back and recanted and said, no, no, now I'm the queen of quality on TV.

And she does what she needs to do for ratings … She now saw that her PR was in danger, and so she dealt with that, but she held Frey out to let him dangle. Yes, he's another liar in print. We've seen others of those lately.
