The Post won’t do the right thing

Posted in Made in China, Rock 'n' Roll at 8:50 am by George Smith

The WaPo continues to refuse to do the right thing. Today, the newspaper still runs the ad selling made-in-China frauds and counterfeit electric guitars.

Here’s the small screen snapshot, larger one with date clearly visible in the link.

Larger version, date visible.

A reader added a comment on the first piece in this series. And I move it up front today for newsworthiness:

I can fill in alot of info about TT and Chinese guitars. I was curious as you and contacted TT and studied them from afar for many months to learn exactly what they were doing. Talked with their “sales staff??? , and I assure you, as you already know, they offer more than they deliver.

I study guitars, I have learned to build classical guitars, I know what’s right, and what to look for.

TT is just an outlet for many different Chinese dealers. When you sign in to their website, you can choose from many different American fakes.
What is really amazing to me, is that they advertise on sites that should know better.
