Mike Daisey Admits Fabrications in Play About Apple 
----------------------------------------------------



The creator of the "The Agony and the Ecstasy of Steve Jobs" has
admitted parts of his monologue about conditions at Chinese factories
used by computer giant Apple was fabricated. Mike Daisey made the
admission after the radio show, "This American Life," retracted an
episode featuring Daisey saying it had contained "numerous
fabrications." While the horrid factory conditions in China are not in
question, Daisey admitted that he did not see and interview all the
people he claimed to in his monologue. In recent months, Daisey appeared
on numerous news programs including Democracy Now!
