GM pulls ads from Times

General Motors yanked all of its advertising in the L.A. Times Thursday because of unspecified but "strongly voiced objections from our dealers in California about factual errors and misrepresentations in The Times editorial coverage." A Times story says that a GM executive admitted privately that auto columnist Dan Neil's recent column panning the new Pontiac G6, and calling for the ouster of GM chairman and chief executive Rick Wagoner, was "particularly offensive."

Meanwhile: The Times added the La Cañada Valley Sun and the Crescenta Valley Sun to its stable of Times Community News papers.
