Appendix F: Wal-Mart Press Kit Regarding Greenwald’s Film – October 25, 2005 ! ! ! ! FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Sarah Clark, 479-273-4314 Robert Greenwald to Release Another Misleading Video Most Recent Effort Attacks Wal-Mart With Blatant Disregard For the Facts BENTONVILLE, Ark, Oct. 25, 2005 – Wal-Mart is aware that Robert Greenwald will soon be releasing a video attacking our company, our associates, and the communities we care so deeply about. We have seen the trailers and some “bonus” footage, and it’s already obvious that Mr. Greenwald has a careless disregard for the facts. Let’s be clear about Mr. Greenwald’s intent: it is not to present a fair and accurate portrayal of Wal-Mart. It is a propaganda video – pure and simple – designed to advance a narrow special interest agenda. So far, Mr. Greenwald has offered only criticism – and distorted criticism at that. He hasn’t offered solutions to the challenges that working families face every day in America. What does Wal-Mart offer in the way of solutions? What do we offer every day in our stores and communities to working Americans? We offer 1.2 million hard-working men and women not only jobs, but careers. We offer families the opportunity to save, on average, $1,250 per year by shopping at Wal-Mart. We offer African-Americans, Hispanic-Americans, senior citizens and women a workplace consistently considered among the most diverse in America. We offer our communities the charitable support they need -- to the tune of $170 million last year alone – to do good works. From what Mr. Greenwald has already said and the footage he has already released, it is clear that his facts are wrong. It is clear his premise is wrong. It is clear – because he can only criticize – his narrow agenda is wrong for the working families of America. We at Wal-Mart value our customers, our associates, and our communities. And we’ll continue to work hard to be a company that not only we can be proud of, but every customer and community we serve can be proud of too. About Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.
