I would be angry, 'cept that this is kinda what I expect from the TV new media. They use "heroes" not to denote any specific righteous deed or superhuman act of courage but in order to better draw in the ratings.

Any meaningful use of the word hero ( as well as many similar words) has since been murdered (by overuse), mutilated (by bending of their original meanings), and cannibalized (since words are the basis of television, but have been relegated to simply being food for ratings) by the media.

As for Lynch herself, congrats on the probably ghost-written book, and enjoy your 15-minutes of fame, 'cause in the end you'll probably end up just as obscure as the rest of us. Or, even worse, as a You Don't Know Jack Volume 23 question (assuming they still make those).
