It’s a good thing the mainstream media and the federal government are all over the Toyota recall efforts. Yes, I said “efforts”, in plural. We all know that Toyota stunk up the joint with their recent issues. Their President publicly took the blame for the problem. The company has halted production to fix the slew of problems. And they are having to give account of themselves to Congress. Anything to keep the company honest, right? After all, they assemble cars and trucks, right here in America. They need to do things the right way, and the MSM is making sure the story gets out.
In showing a shockingly high level of consistency, the MSM, the Obama administration, and Congress are also showing disdain for another auto company who has just quietly recalled a number of their models. Consumer complaints deal with power steering lock-ups. If the driver cannot control their car, the problem is significant. Harry Reid is all over this story, as are David Axelrod, Nancy Pelosi, and the union leadership country-wide.
Oh, I’m sorry. That last paragraph is just not true. Not when Government Motors is the company issuing the recall. We wouldn’t want the truth to be known, would we?
Oh, I need to do an about face on the MSM involvement. Depending on the search terms used, MSM coverage of this event does not occur until the second or third page of search results. Everything else is either related to auto industry publications or blogs. HuffPo ranked higher than other MSM outlets in covering this story.
Who says we don’t have a government, controlled media? Idiots!
