If you've seen Mike Daisey's videos, he comes off as a self-righteous BLOWHARD. And now he has met his just rewards. Complete public humiliation.

[the invisib1e hand]

Not before being bought hook-line-and-sinker right here in River City.

[ripley]

Is it possible that lying revolutionaries are being found out?

Just asking.

[Pontiac]

It just amazes me that these self-righteous, crusading liberals think that they are justified in creating their lies out of whole cloth because they see themselves as defenders of the poor, workers oppressed by evil American capitalist.

They do not see that these workers are far better off working for the evil American capitalist than they ever were working for the socialist governments of their own country.

[Drango]

I’m shocked. SHOCKED that NPR has an anti capitalism bias. Shocked I am.

[Truth29]

Now wouldn't it be nice is he were sued into oblivion and spending the rest of his days working for bread in some sub-assembler’s factory?

Here's major article from the WSJ; Radio Show Pulls Exposé on Apple, that gives more on the BS (aka; 'fabricated') story.

[Do Not Make Fun Of His Ears]

“It’s Not Journalism, It’s Theater.”

Wow, so many could use this as their slogan. MSNBC for starters.

[Semper911]

WOW. I heard that segment on This American Life and was really disturbed by it. What a complete idiot for doing this. I suspect the people at TAL are the most horrified of all and I am sure they will apologize profusely in the next show.

Even though it airs on NPR, it is a very good show and well worth downloading the podcast (same goes for RadioLab, btw.)

I would like to know which parts were made up and which were true.

[Donald Rumsfeld Fan]

The episode is also an embarrassment for Mr. Glass. "We never should've put this on the air," he said in the statement. "In the end, this was our mistake deception." "This American Life," Mr. Glass added, plans to "devote its entire program this weekend to detailing the errors lies in the story."

[Baynative]

This is standard fare for the left. Sometimes scan my dial and can immediately identify NPR. The smoothy and smarmy delivery with the oh so mellow syrupy voices with babbling brooks and singing birds in the back ground are bad enough; but, when I hear the heavily biased slant on their stories about tortured children in sweat shops or bucolic villages where everyone has cancer because of some evil American company I can’t help but wonder how much longer we are going to accept funding this leftist propaganda.

[Incorrigible]

Thanks for this PJ.

Still eagerly waiting for a DUFU on the Grayson bus accident!

[Mr. K]

The libtards have shown their illingness to lie over and over again

In the internet age it is much easier to question their veracity

I wonder how many stories from the past WENT UNCHECKED

...things we believe as fact, made up by liberals 20,30 or 40 years ago...?

[blueunicorn6]

What’s so important about winning these elections and getting government jobs? Oh, that’s right, that’s where the money is. Democrats - Thieves, Thugs, Thralls and Thickheads

[House Atreides]

Well, maybe the next thing we’ll see is Mike Daisy running around naked in San Diego, masturbating in public and in front of children. Of course he won’t be “arrested”—he’ll just get some “help”.

[Hot Tabasco]

I remember years ago when there was an uproar over WalMart selling T-shirts made in Honduran sweat factories by women and children.

While the conditions were not up to U.S. factory standards, the reality was that the children and women had a regular source of income that prevented them from having to work in the sugar cane fields with machete's.

[raybbr]

Another faux progressive getting fat off of lies... (think Michael Moore)

[ArcadeQuarters]

This guy seems to have a history of making bad choices. Here's a quote from his book 21 Dog Years about his time working at Amazon.com:

I was standing onstage in an unheated garage performing Jean Genet's The Balcony as the Bishop, wearing full Catholic regalia, a twelve-pound miter, and Greek cothurni, which are fifteen-inch platform heels. My giant robes were open and I was naked and about to masturbate...

...there I was, exposed, about to begin the speech, when a family walked in. Mother, father, two little girls ...

[GeronL]

Let me guess “fake but accurate”??

[Qbert]

"The only reason to speak the truth is to try and change the world. So if I’m honestly being asked what is the best possible thing that could come out of performing this monologue, it is changing the world”
