Earlier this week, a writer named "The Mechanic" at Edmund's Inside Line blog posted a bogus story entitled "Please GM, Fix the Corvette". It's an opinion piece with no facts, just outlandish statements. Bloggers call this technique "linkbait": an inflammatory article designed for nothing more increasing page views. Example 1: In the first paragraph, "The Mechanic" says this article isn't an attack on Corvette owners and then in the second paragraph, the author attacks Corvette owners as barrel-chested baldys and strippers named Bambi. See what I mean? Normally, I don't give these kinds of articles attention, but I must after reading a comment responding to the post from a new 2009 Corvette owner.
