Mike Daisey Admits Fabrications in Play about Apple

HeadlineMar 19, 2012

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!
