Fox News, Frothing to Take Another Shot at GM, Mistakes General Electric for General Motors

[wtmusic]

"On Friday’s Fox and Friends, segment producers accidentally flubbed a report that GE was ordering their employees the GM Volt. GE was mixed up with GM on the chyron and the teleprompter, causing a temporary panic on set. 'GM is struggling to sell its Chevy Volts and the company is forcing its workers to drive them!' guest host Juliet Huddy erroneously began reading.

'Awwwww!' co-anchor Steve Doocy lamented, clearly torn up inside about employees having to drive company-bought electric cars.

The mistaken initial report seemed terrible — ‘GM can’t sell these cars, so they’re forcing their own employees to drive them!’ but in fact, was actually an effort by GE to green their fleets."

1. Rupert Murdoch must own a lot of Toyota stock.

Or else Toyota advertises a lot more than GM on FoxNoiseNutworks.

2. No...

The right-wing REALLY hates GM.
The right-wing REALLY REALLY hates the Volt.

They are clapping their hands that the Republicans are saying that they will investigate the fires caused by crash tests. While there have been no reports of fires actually occurring in Volts outside of the test setting, GM has addressed the issue.

Not a peep from the right about the 14,000,000 Ford vehicles recalled because of over 1,500 reported incidents of the cruise control causing fires.

4. What could be better than a real shooting match between GE and Faux?

I can't think of anything.

Imagine Faux covering Monsanto suits and MSNBC covering Faux' malfeasance. That'd be a party!

5. GE has better weapons.

Real weapons.

10. Even if Faux was a Cross Stitching and Quilt Making

Networt, they would be the worst new channel in the history of mankind. All those resources, and propoganda aside, they just can't get anything right.
