Not sure if you've seen this yet, but seems relevant to our talk about Detroit, especially after yesterday's tour. Glenn Beck compares Detroit to Hiroshima in terms of destruction, but argues Hiroshima was able to recover by embracing entrepreneurship and the free market while Detroit remains in squalor due to corruption and progressive policies and unions.
Needless to say, Detroiters are offended. I highly suggest watching the clip of the Dateline segment (included in the article).
"Like many national media members, Glenn Beck has probably never been to Detroit, understood Detroit, and doesn't care about Detroit," Bing said in a statement. "We welcome him to see and experience Detroit for himself so that he can deliver facts, rather than repeat fiction."
