I think not only has the internet taken over some of the market for print media, it has also taken some of the gloss off it. Why listen to rumor and innuendo in a magazine that has already been disproven somewhere else due to lead times. The internet is making the media more accountable for the times they get it wrong, which for AA was more often than not.
You just have to look at the backlash when wheels/motor did their original dyno run of GT-F vs the LSA GTS, Fords figures were conspicuously low and the internet called them out for it. The rerun saw the GTF come out with a more realistic (and victorious) number.
Unfortunately it is too late for the media to be corrected on their agenda that killed the local car industry, but I hope to see the trend continue and some of the anti-whatever-government-happens-to-be-in-power rhetoric gets shown for what it is, and the leaders of the country can get back to being allowed to lead rather than getting torn down by the media almost as soon as they are installed to try and do their jobs.
