Fiat - When will the Windsor Star Tell us More??

Is the Windsor Star going to do its job or not?

We didn't need the Windsor Star to tell us Fiat wants part ownership of Chrysler, and not have to pay for any of it. Windsor Essex citizens could have gotten that great news anywhere. What we needed from the Windsor Star and its huge stable of reporters was an analysis of Fiat as a company and its financial abilities or lack there of.

Instead, what did we get?? A huge puff piece on Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne. Boy that was a tough assignment. Good thing they gave that job to "super snooper" Grace Macaluso.

Why do we have to learn about
Fiat's finances from Bloomberg and their team of reporters? The news on Fiat according to Bloomberg is not good. You would think Bloomberg has a bigger stake in Windsor Essex than the Windsor Star. Why have a local newspaper if they are going to ignore the important aspects of local news??
