» Thoughts on Mike Daisey
/Anyone who uses a little truth, some half-truths, and some outright lies to promote their own agenda is the worst kind of liar. The fact of the matter is that Mike not-only didn't help the cause of worker's rights in China, he dealt them a heavy blow. He made himself a big, important person exploiting the stories and experiences of the very people he claimed to be raising awareness for, in addition to exploiting the allure of Apple founder Steve Jobs, and Apple itself, a household name. It's disgusting, and what's worse, Mr. Daisey, is that you won't even own up to it. You, sir, are a coward, a liar, and a fraud.
I have lost my respect for you, as have many others. If what you're doing is merely 'theatre' say so at the outset, so declare it to be factual, and then declare 'woah, woah, it's only a show' after you get caught red-handed.
Disgusting.
