Shoot the Messenger: Car Maker Blames Slow Sales on Newspapers.
I don’t want to say that Chrysler LLC vice chairman sounds like Fox News Circus Clown in Residence. I have a lot of respect for Jim. But when asked about the economy and market volatility and plummeting consumer confidence, Jim suggested that the best thing folks could do is “stop reading the newspapers.“
(Emphasis mine)
So auto buyers read newspapers. He thinks newspapers are persuading people not to buy cars.
Taking him at his word, wouldn’t it make sense for car makers to advertise heavily in newspapers?
Can somebody explain how this logic is flawed?
