Publishers tell Google: We're not your consent lackeys

Well, that would depend. To my understanding the whole regulation concentrates itself on personal data, and what Google basically gets through analytics is nothing more but an IP address and a browser stamp.

This could be theoretically linked back to you if you have a Google account, are constantly logged on and have provided Google with your personal information. But that only applies after you given them access to that data. I could imagine that your personal data does fall into this regulation but the anonymous analytics data does not. Only if you would be linked then it becomes personal.
