On a 100% off topic and extremely random tangent... a thought on the auto situation and how far the traditional media have declined:
Italian automaker Fiat now owns a big chunk of Chrysler and by all accounts was regarded by the U.S. government as the only viable savior of the Pentastar as an ongoing concern.
Media reaction: Huzzah! (mostly)
The media reaction I expected but have not found anywhere: Fiat? FIAT? WTF?!?
Doesn't anyone have a memory that lasts more than fifteen minutes?
A few years ago Fiat had a business arrangement with General Motors. As part of the deal, Fiat had a "put" option where it could essentially force GM to buy Fiat's auto business. Fiat at that time was a complete and total basket case - worse than GM if you can believe that - and GM paid $2 billion in 2005 to get away from having to buy Fiat.
And now Fiat is a savior. Huh.
In the last four years Fiat has come a long way. It's obviously not the same company it was in '04-'05 and maybe it's strong enough to salvage something out of Chrysler. But to read no mention of the GM history - a mere four years ago - is baffling to me.
