This story shows the fundamental difference between the principles of Ira Glass and everyone at This American Life & Chicago Public Radio versus some dude that really doesn't care what brought you into this "relationship", thinks you're just stuck with him.
Well, as it turns out, people aren't really "stuck" with Mike Daisey, except for a non-refundable ticket that won't be a recurring sale. He lost all integrity and trust in his stories, regardless of how well he does tell them.
And I can assure you that the saying «There is no such thing as bad publicity» might apply to the dumb celebrities followers (with no due respect) but doesn't really apply to every field, especially when journalistic standards are expected.
My guess is that everyone knows and understands the mistake made by Mr Ira Glass and the Producers at This American Life was one of trust.
And the basic point here is, that I keep my full trust in Mr. Ira, This American Life's Producers and Chicago Public Radio, because humans can make mistakes (and in fact learn/correct/improve when they do so), but those that have principles and integrity know to recognize and correct any mistakes. So was the case here.
In regards to Mr. Mike Daisey, there's no trusting him ever again, unless he's telling unicorn stories.
