RIght Wing Nuts will Say Anything

Topic: Auto

I've been seeing a lot of news agencies linking to this story a hack wrote about the Volt and GM dealerships. A lot of liberals and conservatives tell you that the media is bias against them and sometimes they're right. However, I just think they don't do their homework and check out the story. I don't blame the hack for writing it; after all, it's his job to lie. However, if any of these agencies even bothered to read the article, warning bells with of sounded immediately. Heck, if they'd just reading the first paragraph they'd know it was some right winger out to get GM, Unions, and/or Obama.
The only news blog that caught this propaganda piece and wrote an article exposing it for what it is, was Jalopnik.com.  So, kudos to you Jalopnik for not only checking the facts but correcting a lie. If you don't believe me, do a search on Cars.com and see how many used Volts there are right now. I did and got only 18 listed for the entire country, and out of that, only 7 of them had less than a 1,000 miles. It doesn't sound like a massive fraud to me.
