This American Life Retracting "Mr. Daisey & The Apple Factory"
Notably as well, This American Life released the podcast and audio stream early to their website so everyone could hear it.  I listened to the podcast this morning and was impressed at the way they approached it.<p>A particularly poignant bit for me was near the end, as Ira Glass is having a conversation with Rob Schmitz.  I'm paraphrasing slightly from memory. Ira asks Rob after discussing the fact that it is established fact that many Foxconn workers do double shifts and insane amounts of overtime, "I own many of these products, should I feel bad?"<p>Rob replies (again paraphrasing), "It isn't my job as a reporter to tell you how to feel.  It is my job to gather facts and report them as accurately as possible and let you decide."<p>I feel like that is one of the most important ethics missing from so much of journalism today.  And it isn't just Fox News: almost every journalism source which fits into mainstream reporting these days seems to want to editorialize the news and push us on how we should feel.
