L A Times, 15 April, 2013, A-10: "GM and Ford to partner on new gearbox" My initial question is, are these bullies not powerful enough already?
Next issue: In about the 6th paragraph, the brilliant Jerry Hirsch writes "Chrysler Group plans to sell its Jeep GRAND" [emphasis mine] "Cherokee and Dodge Dart with nine speed transmissions this year." And "Both Chrysler and Jaguar Land Rover are buying their transmissions from ZF Friedrichshafen, a German supplier, Sullivan said." [Dave Sullivan of AutoPacific Inc.]
This brings to mind the image of a faithful but somewhat clueless stenographer (vs. real journalist) just copying down what the latest spokesperson/"expert" says. Here is a business world example of how media often reports on other matters. If you've ever had a story written about you, you likely know what I'm getting at.
