Wal-Mart is a sponsor of Good Morning America's 'Only in America' series, a series that features the patriotic and brave stories of so many Americans who make this nation better and stronger. With this sponsorship, ABC News provides Wal-Mart both a format and visual framing
to perpetuate a long-term myth-that Wal-Mart possesses a unique American patriotism manifested in practices that promote American values, respect workers, and privilege American-made products. There could be no greater distance between 'Only in America' and the reality
behind Wal-Mart's image machinery.
