Does Apple Have a Role in Political Discussion? (Video)

My comment was not a “campaign” nor should you have taken it as such if you were not predisposed to be in-the-tank Apple in every case. I explained that to you and you still persist. I’ll just avoid your threads in future. They make no unbiased point for me.

The campaign was not yours but the 2013 article in the Guardian and the China Labor Watch campaign about supposed labor abuses at FoxConn. . . where they have used video's taken at other manufacturers claiming they were taken at FoxConn's plants. These videos have been debunked several times. Michael Daisey's The Agony and Ecstasy of Steve Jobs was another such campaign where NPR had to delete the files and recant the "Documentary" after it was learned that Daisey had used shills provided by CLW along with bogus "English translations" of what was being said in Chinese, to smear both FoxConn and Apple, when the actual Chinese was saying nothing like what the translations and Daisey were claiming they were saying in English. It took actual Chinese speakers to call foul on those fake presentations. Daisey finally admitted he had not really spoken to underage workers or even ever entered a FoxConn factory. . . but took CLW's word for conditions inside. That is what I mean by "campaigns."

Reposting such campaigns forwards the lies and advances their agenda. . . and leaving them to stand on their own does the same thing.

You are free to ignore my posts as you wish, but when you post a link to one of those propaganda articles, I will respond because I think the truth is important.
