General Motors vs. The New York Times

These are actually fantastic blogs from a GM worker talking about the recent article in the NYT by Tom Friedman:

The GM Blog's initial post in response to the Times' op-ed piece
The GM Blog's reaction to the Times' subsequent response

One of my favorites lines from the first post follows:

"Don’t get me wrong. Toyota's a fine company. But like GM, Toyota offers a full range of cars and trucks to satisfy all their customers across this nation, not just what New York and Washington journalists who ride in yellow cabs think the rest of America should drive."

Fantastic! For how long do you think that corporate America has been waiting to stick it to the Times' editors like that? Simply priceless.

Anyway, the links at the end of the second post highlight the actual dialogue between the Times and GM. I don't know why the NYT even bothers publishing any more. They clearly have an agenda against anything and everything American, as well as against the consumer's choice in a free market. Add the NYT aversion to capitalism also. Maybe it's because their subscription numbers have been falling for years.
