Ms Magazine, a Twisted Media?

Special Assistant Richard Pierce said on his press release that work continues to preserve the garment industry. I clipped one part of the PR pertaining to Ms Magazine's report about labor abuses in sweat shops and all. Below is an excerpt of his PR:

“On the flip side, with a twisted national media driven by politics, the Ms Magazine article posted last year has now been identified as the reason Anne Taylor discontinued its business on-island. This is just another example of how outdated, embellished, and generally disregarded trash can affect the lives of people in the CNMI. While it's certainly true problems associated with the industry absolutely tarnished the CNMI's image years ago, and did also hurt business, changes recognized by many don't seem to be having a reciprocal effect,” Pierce said.

After the Senate Hearing last month, Ms Magazine once again put the CNMI in the limelight. Is there such thing as twisted media? I heard and read that Ms Magazine is one of the reputable publications in the US.

That headnote bullshit is propaganda on the part of the Fitial Administration. They have received a letter from the Secretary of Commerce spelling out that there is no way in hell they are changing it. They are lying to the people of the CNMI when they say that they are in talks to amend it.

He probably meant Twisted Sisters. That's a joke, I don't want to have to change my email.

They've got their point of view, and it's a bit extreme for my taste, but the facts speak for themselves.
