58. Thanks, you just made my point for me.

Daisey lied about his personal interactions with these conditions. You listed all the things Daisey said that were lies, and every single one of them in the end was about Mike Daisey and Mike Daisey alone. No substantial allegations about the working conditions were discredited. It doesn't factually change a single argument about this we've had on DU -- the facts are the facts whether Mike Daisey saw them or not.

Despite Apple Cultists claiming and burning for this to be some complete exoneration of their favorite multinational corporation, the "cheap labor" abuses happened and are well documented by MANY non-Daisey sources. These sources are not retracting their stories, unlike a couple of Apple regulars last weekend posting about how ALL negative Apple stories were being retracted because of Daisey.

Good thing the Appleistas had an outbreak of common sense, too, because I would have linked them for the rest of eternity on every "how great Apple is" post as a reminder that everyone can be Mike Daisey.
