The single best moment in the documentary Page One was when David Carr cuts down Shane Smith, Vice co-founder, for passing off the NYTimes as a sort of vacation-themed rag.

An amazing This American Life piece by monologist Mike Daisey who visits Shenzhen province to report on a Foxconn plant that manufactures the iPhone. Daisey speaks about the elegance of manufacturing on a massive scale juxtapose to employing teenagers and worker exposure to n-Hexane, a solution used for cleaning glass and a known neurotoxin.
Best quote of the whole piece, “You don’t have to dream about some Sci-Fi dystopian Blade Runner 1984 bullshit, you can go to Shenzhen tomorrow. They’re making you’re crap that way today.”
Part one is the monologue, part two deconstructs the part one.
