reason is that we accept an ad mixture of fact and fiction in our entertainment products, and while mike daisy's mono log is an enter timt product, and a thought provoking one the fact of the matter is that when the fact checker for this american life contacted daisy, daisy created a story where the translator, the key character here is this woman named cathy. who search as translator, fixer, all purpose helper in china. none of the three key anecdotes that appeared in the radio piece could be corroborated, and he lied about it. >> we'll get further into that in a second. given the fabrications here, one lie piled on another, and you have written about this. where does this fit? >> it's pretty prominent. i think it's somewhere up there. it's definitely top five, top ten. i would say. i think it's also top five, top maybe two or three in terms of how they handle it. they came out straight. they did a huge, you know, 58 minutes on my podcast. in addition to an entire edition of "this american life "toy correct the record, and it was incredibly compelling piece of journalism that correction of the

our story featured mike daisy too, but we heard from other critics as well. g he describes meeting workers as young as 12 at the plant. a claim which has been called into question. we've been unable to confirm that account but neither apple nor foxconn would grant us an interview. we independently confirmed all the other aspects of our sunday morning story. on to other matters two weeks from today april 1 you're invited to come visit us in our studio as we hear from rock'n'roll legend patty smith. go to our website. while you're there check out our new cell phone app. that's right. you too can have your very own sunday morning ringtone. ♪ don't leave home without it. coming up, of heaven and earth. ,,,,,,,,,,,, >> osgood: the krystal cathedral has been a california landmark for more than 30 years. this sunday it's the symbol of a landmark feud. its founding family is out. the building will become a catholic church. here's brian rooney. >> reporter: the cathedral was designed to give its congregation a window on god. its construction, the vision of one man. >>

sow tracked down the chinese translater who had helped this actor, mike daisy, interview at least somethe apple workers at this foxconn plant and the translator 15id mu translator said much of what daisy reported had never happened. a vivid example, daisy said he had talked to workers whose hantz were sha hands were shaking uncontrollable because they had been poisoned by a cleaner used to clean the apple i-foiphones. daisy started to use phrases like, well, i engaged in poetic license or dramatic license, and yet he basically took the credibility of very respected public radio program and flushed it down the toilet. >> mike daisy, he released a statement here, i want to make sure we get this in here. he says what i do is not journalism. the tools of the theater are not the same as the tools of journali journalism. for this reason i regret that i allowed "this "american morning" life "wtion to air an excerpt from my monologue. "this american life" is essentially a journalistic, not a theatrical, enterprise and as such it operates and you different set of rules and expectations. you hav

. >> reporter: very details that brought mike daisy's story to life was responsible for its unraveling. details with handicapped workers and plant guards with guns just didn't sound plausible to rob smits who decided to dig deeper. >> there were a lot of points in that didn't ring true to me. i mean one of them was that he mentions guards at the gates of foxconn with guns and several factories, you would never see security guards with guns. it's illegal for them to hold guns. >> reporter: the radio show that featured daisy retracted the story. he admitted some of his monologue was fabricated and apologized but went on to pose this on his blog monday. "i apologize in this week's episode to anyone who felt betrayed. i stand by that apology but understand if you felt something that connected you with where your devices came from, that is not a lie. that is art." he urged consumers to continue reading and caring. conditions at technology supplier foxconn had been in focus since a spate of suicides came to light in 2010. cnn has reported quite a bit on foxconn including examinations of work

i first heard of mike daisy's model sometime last spring when two friends of mine went to see the work in washington, d.c. i particularly remember one friend recounting me what would be the monologue's climactic moment when a chinese member's hand had been crushed and saw the device turned on for the first time. as he flicks through the icons with what daisy calls his ruined hand, he tells mike daisy through the translater that it's a kind of magic. it now appears that moment never happened. the man with the ruined hand appeared to work at another factory and it's unclear if he made ipads. daisy has been in the news in the wake of the disamerican life running an episode-length retraction of the airing of daisy's monologue. when his actual chinese translater was contacted, she contradicted many of the most dramatic details, including him meeting with underage workers and the incident with the ipad and the man with the injured hand. daisy's defense is that fundamentally he was miscast in the role of journalist. he's a story teller. a theater artist. in fact, he made that argument, more o

"this american life" is apologizing. this comes as apple fans open new ipads this evening. in san francisco we found 100 dedicated apple users ready for the opening of the apple store on stockton street this morning. some securing their places in line last night to make sure they could get their hands on the newest device. others waited at home and hired people to take up the -- pick up the ipads for them. >> the hat on my head. it's -- i'm a runner. the ipads that i'm getting are not actually for me. they're for people who have hired me through the task rabbit service. >> reporter: how much are you making? >> enough. but -- >> reporter: enough? $50 a pop? >> it's a little more than that. >> reporter: job creation there. not surprisingly, apple stores coast to coast packed today. co-founder steve wozniak was in line for for the ipad. he did it in los angeles. >>> that's n

the stuff that mike daisy had been putting out there is pretty much smack down by this report. apple seems to be ahead of this story with all the pictures of tim cook there in china. and, finally, the fla looks credible in this. one of the dangers was it would look like they were showing for apple. none of that seems to be happening, tyler. >> thank you very much. >>> now to the story everybody's talking about. the mega megamillions jackpot. it seems to be getting bigger. we're in new jersey. stephanie. >> hey, sue. well, the bigger the jackpot gets, the more people play, the more people play, the bigger the jackpot gets. that's what happened today. the already world record breaking of $540 million jumped an astounding $100 million. it's now at $640 million. and it's only a dollar to play. a dollar to play to get that chance of winning the big jackpot. but the chance is is small is one in 176 million. but that's not stopping people playing. it's in 42 states including the district of columbia and the u.s. virgin islands. lines are growing. they will be for sure sneaking out the
