Honest would not be an appropriate word to use to characterize Seth's portrayal of events.
Likewise, overdramatized would not be an appropriate word to describe a piece that accurately describes a pattern of willful and deceitful behavior. Mr. Bannon's "writing about his own mistakes" is an extension of this pattern of deception. Indeed, rather than over dramatize, the New Republic article limits in scope and fails to mention many other instances in which Mr. Bannon lied and misled; abused employees to the point of quitting; and put his own ego and interests ahead of those of his company, investors and customers.
