- MichaelZuo 6y agoIt’s surprising since it seems directly from reuters and not one of the PR wires. They’re so confident about it!
- chaostheory 6y agoNearly every news outlet and publication does this and not just Reuters. It's very pervasive and it's not new. Sometimes, it's official, other times it's just a PR agency with a story and a reporter who needs one. I'm sure there's a lot of quid pro quo, but there's little that I've seen written on the subject beyond Paul Graham's essay.
- martythemaniak 6y agoLet's not blame the journalists here, if GM was proud of how many they sold out of, they would say so. A journalist asking them isn't going to change that.
- freehunter 6y agoThe job of a journalist is to ask questions and not be satisfied with just repeating what a corporation wants them to say. Just repeating a company's PR is the job of an advertiser.
