"This American Life" repudiates FoxConn story

'This American Life' retracts report on Apple, Foxconn factories in China | Fox News

"Citing “numerous fabrications” in a report aired on Jan. 6 about working conditions in Chinese manufacturer Foxconn’s factories, public radio program “This American Life” has retracted the show and plans to dedicate an entire, hour-long episode to the issue Friday evening."

And this ...

“What I do is not journalism,” [segment writer Mike Daisy] explained.

Yeah, well ... obviously!

Didn't listen to the radio show, so cant comment on that.
I did catch the night line when it aired.
Maybe Apple should have to pay it's profit from using foriegn labor into the National debt, or unemployment fund,etc. etc.
All congressmen and women, past and present, who voted for Nafta should be lynched, stoned, etc. etc.

Kudos to Ira Glass and This American Life. I hadn't heard of Daisy nor heard of his comments on China & Foxconn.

Not only Apple is involved, many big players of so-called American businesses are reaping rewards of cheap China labor forgoing worker safety.

Maybe the new leader (?) of China will make positive changes for the 1.3 billion citizens.
