Wal-Mart Rhymes With Heart

Today I have a good example of the power of the media. Yesterday, Wal-Mart announced that a brain-damaged former employee can keep her money. The headline doesn’t make much sense but they have limited space, I’m not sure I could have done better.

The article explains it pretty succinctly, so I can’t even really get into it, just read it. This family could have been stuck dealing with this lawsuit and expensive lawyer bills for years, but because of coverage by the media, Wal-Mart dropped the lawsuit. For some reason, cough cough bad press, Wal-Mart had a change of heart, and now sympathizes with this family. I still think Wal-Mart sucks but obviously there is someone in their PR department with half a brain.
