Well it's official...GM is going down the crapper
Re: Well it's official...GM is going down the crapper
I can't help but agree with that assessment...but hey, Jason at least tries to keep different forums on topic.
Which cable news channel? Please, pick one. Any of them. For the love of God, not FNC. Their right-wing bias has become so well documented it isn't even funny. I mean, if you're a card-carrying, flag-waving, dirt-chewing yee hah who loves to be spoon fed the news, then yeah...FNC is phenomenal.
For those who actually think? I'll take CNN or MSNBC, thanks very much. Ever read anything by Al Franken? I'm sure you'll feed me a littany on how he's left-wing biased, but I actually took the time to do some Lexis-Nexis searches utilizing the same search criteria he used in one of his books, for a paper I had to do for a class. He's actually amazingly accurate. And he hates FNC. As do I
Sorry to derail the thread, but something tells me it wasn't going anywhere anyway!

Re: Well it's official...GM is going down the crapper
I watch FNC, and I watch CNN. CNN has an obvious "left" wing bias, FNC has an obvious "right" wing bias. I don't think there's a media outlet that doesn't have one or the other. Pick your side, watch what you want and move on.
FNC get's alot of slamming because it is the only "right" wing station. But they are also doing suprisingly well so there must be more then one or two "white christians" watching it...

How anyone can say that Fox News is way right, and then say that CNN and MSNBC is "actual news" has some serious problems with believing whatever is spoon fed to them. I do agree that FNC is somewhat right, but they ALSO report what would be considered favorable to the lefties. Something CNN or MSNBC wont do without adding a few unrealted jabs at The Bush Admin or or the War in Iraq. I have a freind who believes all the stories about The moon landing being faked, The Kenedy assasination being a set up, and the war being over strictly Oil. He always comes to me with some stupid story he heard on CNN and he tells it just like he saw it with his own two eyes. Good guy. Love him to death, but he's just gullible.

Re: Well it's official...GM is going down the crapper
GM's sales have tumbled 7 percent for the first five months of the year, and the company has also been hurt by what Wagoner has called "fewer high-profit SUVs, more lower profit cars."
As more continual downsizing occurs, by attrition or layoffs, the more the market is reduced...I see it as a catch 22...cuts equals more people with less wages, equals more cuts.......but what do I know?
(I'm UAW, it's ALL my fault.)

You know.... I lean to conservative views.... and, more importantly, I am a lifelong diehard Pittsburgh Steelers fan (of which Rush is), and I can't tolerate him either!

A friend of mine is a big fan..... I try to listen to him objectively, but he is rather hypocritical in some regards.... also rather biased. Admittedly, I don't listen a whole lot though, so maybe it's just the times I've listened.
Re: Well it's official...GM is going down the crapper
I've tried to listen to him...I've honestly tried. No way.
I thought I was conservative until Bush came along. I've discovered I'm a conservative in search of anyone but Bush
Sorry to make this a political thread...the thoughts on FNC were just too amusing to ignore.

Re: Well it's official...GM is going down the crapper
Ya know I just don’t talk about my politics anymore, no one can ever agree and you cant change anyone’s mind. I care not to listen to the other side because I don’t agree with them. Simple *** that. I’m close minded.
Now Lets talk about the camaro again.

P.S. al franken is a moron, him and michael moore should jump off a cliff! Wasn't cnn the ones who admitted, reporting saddam was a good guy all the while he was threatening them to say so? I guess they don't talk much about that though!
You make a great point, It takes a great deal to change ppl's minds from what they believe. That's precisely GM's problem... changing ppl's minds is a tough job for sure! I do think for myself, this is why I choose to step back, and ask myself HMM.. Self If damn near all of Phonywood, the lib-media, rockstars, hip hoppers, etc. are all screaming to the high heavens BUSH is Bad Um-kay, don't vote for him, Um-Kay, then Aren't they makeing up your mind for you? You have to ask yourself ...Self why did so many dems jump ship and support Bush in the last election? I certanly wouldn't ever bring any of this up here, cept that I think the Lib-media is at least partly to blame for GM's troubles. How else is it that the ppl's perception of GM, and the real facts about the fine products they put out are worlds apart? That's solely my OPINION, you can disagree if you so choose. The Camaro Will Be Back! And GM is going nowhere! You can disagree with that too if ya like!
Re: Well it's official...GM is going down the crapper
GE has a hell of a CEO with Jeff Immelt. Hopefully Wagoner can be as good as Immelt is.
Immelt will never curb someone's imagination, no matter how off the wall it may be. You'll be seeing some great products coming from GE because of it, stuff where you can truly see "imagination at work." It seems like Wagoner wants this attitude to rule at GM again, and that's a hell of an idea.
