[Rev. M. Rodimer]

PBS has admitted that the horrific tale of employee abuse aired on "This American Life", telling the FALSE stories of Chinese workers at the FoxConn factory which constructs iPads and other Apple products, is . . . A LIE!

Radio program "This American Life" (TAL) has retracted a "partially fabricated" story about author and actor Mike Daisey's visit to Foxconn factories in China.

The retraction was announced on Friday (the same day that Apple's latest iPad went on sale) in a blog post by show host Ira Glass. "We're horrified to have let something like this onto public radio," wrote Glass.

The blog post said that Daisey's story about Foxconn's massive Shenzen factory "contained significant fabrications."

Two months after the fact, NPR finally followed up on the story with the translator cited in the episode, who confirmed that nearly every incident cited was fabricated.

Is there any better evidence to support the termination of TAXPAYER funding for NPR?
