Hey Steve, You are quite
Hey Steve,
You are quite correct. As a "conservative" and as somebody who is a lifelong Republican I'm personally getting to the point where I'm quite mad at Fox and other conservative media. I entirely understand that no media is free of bias but the treatment of the Volt on Fox and Drudge is really eye opening for me. If you know anything about the Volt you understand that Obama deserves no credit for the Volt whatsoever. It's a product of a lot of hard work by people such as Lutz, Lauckner, Posawatz, Farah, et al. prior to the bailout and prior to Obama.
In addition, as a conservative I can understand the angst about the bailout and the tax credit, however, to go to the point that Fox will out and out lie to their viewers... well, it kinda shocks the system. When a news organization intentionally misleads their viewers there would likely be two reasons for that course of action. One is that people are paying you to lie. The other is that they view it as a business opportunity to lie. In other words, some people will actually tune in to be lied to which leads to increased viewership which leads to increased advertisement revenue. I personally don't know if people are paying Fox to lie about the Volt or whether they are pandering to get ratings but I follow the Volt on a daily basis and, as a conservative there is little doubt that Fox is out and out lying about the Volt. To what end, I do not know but it disturbs me.
