We don’t mean to mislead….
A fellow blogger (I’m sorry journalist) is unhappy about the way auto blogs are spreading more rumors than actual news. Well, we here at the cdF don’t want to be such a blogger. The Fetish crew is going on record to state that 90% of our stories revolve around our opinions and in no way should be used as reliable intel to spread to major publications. Now I feel better.
Here is a quote from the blog……article
“But the media, including car magazines, are being led around by small-time bloggers who have never signed up for a journalism class, let alone stayed awake during one. And they’re running every stupid little rumor extant without checking up on them. Before New York, trained journalists were chasing bloggers’ stories that the Corvette Blue Devil and BMW X6 would appear at that show, as ridiculous as that sounds to anyone who’s covered at least a couple New York shows. It’s not a big enough event, it’s not the right event, for those two cars.”
He got me, I went to an art school, so I didn’t have to even try to stay awake through a journalism class. Thank goodness because I wouldn’t have made it. We may not be the best writers but we do have a Fetish for design. So don’t take us too seriously and enjoy our honest comments of what we think.

The Blue Devil is Coming
In the news: the Leftlane News, citing a statement from General Motor’s Vice Chairman Bob Lutz, is reporting that the engineers at GM are now putting the finishing touches on the forthcoming and much anticipated “Blue Devil” Corvette.
As if it’s “bloggers’” faults that “trained journalists” are loosing credibility/respect to the likes of unabashedly fake journalists like John Stewart and Stephen Colbert… “Trained journalists” are “being led around by small-time bloggers” because of the media’s penchant for being the first to report everything (anybody remember Tom Brokaw reporting Gore winning the 2000 Election too early)…
