It's funny because before that happened Daisey's overall career was absolutely Team Snark by any reasonable standard, like the Gawker stuff about mocking hipsters and techbro culture and "writering"
Well I dunno I mean I think the criticisms of Daisey centering himself etc are fair, as are the ones saying he should've known Foxconn would fact check him to within an inch of his life But I mean if he really believed Foxconn was abusive should he just not have said anything

I guess I just think that the traditional way to inform somebody of capitalist abuse isn't in monologue form, like who among us can say we really learned that Chinese manufacturing concerns were exploitative from going to see Mike Daisey

Well that's the problem, really, isn't it? Stories-as-muckraking-exercise need a sort of drama and artifice companies are good at sabotaging so "We should just throw facts & figures at people," but demonstrably facts & figures don't seem to have much of an effect?
