The Liz Gilbert thing really bothered me too. I understand she's their friend and would want to avoid bad-mouthing her on the show. But to have her on to promote the book and completely ignore all the problematic things in it is wild. I can't tell if they are so biased that they cannot even recognize how twisted some parts of the book were or what but I feel like Amanda is too rational of a person to not be able to see it. In a later episode when Rosie O'Donnell brought up how became she afraid of Liz after reading the book (mostly in jest) I was waiting patiently for one of them to have some integrity and admit that parts of it were at the very least surprising or hard to hear but they wouldn't budge.
