“The joke here is that Thomas Friedman is always talking about the benefits of globalization,” says Taibbi.

“We outsourced Thomas Friedman to an Indian content farm, where they produce for pennies a word, any kind of material you want....  I told them I wanted then to write an article about globalization and its effect on the workforce that’s positive about globalization...” said Pareene.

“To show the effects of globalization,” laughed Taibbi. “We can have Thomas Friedman for 1,000 times less the cost.”
