Wal-Mart has fired an unnamed IT technician for taping conversations between the company's PR staffers and NYT reporter Michael Barbaro. The employee also took it upon him/herself to "[intercept] text messages using equipment that searched for key words in messages sent within a several-mile radius of Wal-Mart's Bentonville, Ark., headquarters."
Hmm. Suspicious of the media? In favor of indiscriminately monitoring free speech? We bet he/she ends up working in Dick Cheney's office in no time. Where he/she will probably get much better health benefits.
