I know in the car industry they are often in cahoots with the press who get the 'scoop' and in return they get publicity. |
There is probably a lot of truth in that Herb. Only thing that really annoys me is that these images will end up in MCN and they willl take all the credit for them as their own "scoop", since they are so far behind the ball game. Makes you wonder if they ever read these forums. Most of what they print is utter tripe anyway. Even their photoshop lash ups are refuted by Ducati as mere fantasy. They fail to understand that most people who keep their nose to the ground actually know better, which simply makes them appear even more idiotic than they already are.
