Car & Driver magazine?

Did you know Saddam Hussein owns 2% of Car & Driver, Road & Track, Boating, Women's Day, Elle and numerous other US magazines?

Some advertisers are now pulling their ads.

I'm not about to stop buying or reading one of the greatest journalistic endeavours of the automotive world, a magazine I started subscribing to many years before a tyrant supposedly acquired ownership of some stock he doesn't deserve.

If the dog is a good dog, why kick the dog because he has the misfortune of being owned by a cruel man that you dislike?

It's unfortunate that advertisers are yanking their support. Many good and talented Americans on the payroll of those magazines.

I'm an avid C&D reader/subscriber for at least 10 years, not about to give it up either. Beats the socks off of lame publications like Motor Trend and other wannabes.

Foreign ownership

Don't ask, don't tell- if we knew who had interests in our favorite stuff we wouldn't have anything. That is a good mag but they all pander to their biggest advertisers so it is a lack of objectivity that I question- not who owns them.
