Since This American Life retracted its episode about Foxconn working conditions, there’s been no shortage of Mike Daisey hate. But it turns out that Woz seems to think Mike Daisey’s not all bad.
I’m a little split on the whole Mike Daisey issue; on the one hand theatre should be free to present anything it likes, and use storytelling for effect. On the other hand, up until now, Daisey hasn’t presented anything he’s said as being anything but the truth.
Mike Daisey lied in public radio program This American Life. He basically made up a lot of stuff about Foxconn. This American Life had to retract the whole thing, but Mike says his lies were all for a good cause.
