Frontline bias

An audio version of Is Wal-Mart good for America?. Bruce Bartlett (via Common Sense and Wonder) says he pointed out to the program's producer
that the main beneficiaries of Wal-Mart's low-price policy are the poor, who could now afford products that would be out of their reach but not for Wal-Mart, improving their lives and raising their standard of living...

...that Wal-Mart, all by itself, was responsible for a significant amount of the productivity miracle we have seen in this country over the last decade.
but the program mentioned none of that. Perhaps it's the producer is one of those public-sector workers uninterested in growth.
