More GM fallout

You thought this would end with one little rant
here last week? No way. The ripples are still in the pool
from GM’s move to retract its advertising from the LA Times because of a negative column. While Lutz and company are
still silent over at the Fastlane blog, the first place they should go to
talk about this in our opinion, pundits are weighing in.
The Truth About Cars takes GM to
task saying they’ve “lost the plot.” But the column also points out the challenges the move might have on the
weak-willed automotive press. Joe Sherlock at The View Through The
Windshield comments about the General doing something similar in the 1990s after a negative Motor Trend story on
the Buick Riviera. His point? Motor Trend is still around and the Riv isn’t.
