NY Times article - "The 31-Year-Old in Charge of Dismantling G.M."
In summary, this article is about Brian Deese, the man appointed to restructuring G.M. following its unavoidable bankruptcy status. The content of the article actually does give some props to Deese's for his political resume once you get past the headline and opening paragraph. But that's the problem - so many people don't get past the intro to articles. They just want to gist of the story before they move onto the next title in the overabundant list of news they're challenged to sift through on a daily basis.
People need to realize that sometimes age really doesn't matter. If this guy has the chops to do the job, give his Ivy league brain some room to spin its wheels before you criticize. I enjoy the NYT, but I hate when news media forces a mindset in their presentation of information... of course I'm all for mindset manipulation in the world of advertising! But back to Deese...
One last point: People criticized Obama in the beginning of his administration for preaching about "change" and then having oldies but goodies re-enter the White House as part of his team. Where's the praise now critics?? This is change for a White House administration - a young guy with a whole lot of responsibility. Ok, so he's still a white male with power in the United States, but at least he's not balding.
So in my criticism of the New York Times, I'm really saying GOOD LUCK MR. DEESE!
