Sure you have. You keep insisting that using a ghostwriter - in this instance - is misleading the public buying the book. That is simply not true.... unless you care to also insist that, say, Obama also misleads the public by professing to have written his books. And that every sports personality, politician, and any other celebrity who has written a book is also misleading the public. The job of a ghost is to write the words of others - it's actually quite a tough job - they spend countless hours researching, interviewing the individual, their friends, family, associates, etc etc etc and write not in their own style but in the style of the person they are writing as. They get paid exceptionally well for signing over any rights to their work. I know, I've done it - actually, I'm doing it right now. Am I misrepresenting? No, I am taking the work of someone else and crafting it into something that other people will want to read. He gets paid for his expertise, I get paid for mine. No one will ever know that I wrote it, and I am fine with that. That's the job.
Good jelly grease beans! Look at what I posted a couple of pages ago:
"Here's a quick example of the deception:
"Sarah Palin has finished her memoir just four months after the book deal was announced."
Sarah Palin Book, Going Rogue: An American Life, to Be Released November 17 - ABC News
She didn't write it but I'm guessing due to false advertising as shown above many people believe she is the author. Look at the definition of memoir:
Memoir Definition | Definition of Memoir at Dictionary.com
1. a record of events written by a person having intimate knowledge of them and based on personal observation.
By that article she wrote the book....but we know she didn't. That's active deception and maybe you are of the character that celebrates successful lying to consumers, I don't care if you are or not. What I do know is ghostrwriting that deceives the audience is unethical"
I don't give a rat's if it's palin, obama, or owens. Any public figure who puts out a "memoir" that was ghost written engages in the unethical art of deception. It is not the act of ghostwriting that is unethical (I actually wish you would use one on here) but the active deception as given in the above example of how palin's book is sold as if she were the actual author.
If you have failed to comprehend my position again, may I interest you in a ghostreader?
