Oh, she totally violated the journalist's code! I remember one of the comments she made about how girls so attractive, with so much going for them can have interest in something so outdated. So, yes she was very biased!

Writer does not necessarily equal journalist, even if the work is classified as non-fiction. News journalists are held to different standards and are afforded certain protections that "writers" are not.

It's more like historical fiction - some basis in truth, but obviously manipulated and the "blanks" filled in by the author's imagination. She had an axe to grind, and went in with certain preconceived notions. It is what it is - a moneymaker for her, no doubt - but certainly not what I would consider a journalistic masterpiece. It wasn't even a good read in my opinion.
