American TV news attacks

[John Larson <jdlarson@ix.netcom.com>]

While baby-sitting my Grandson a couple of weeks ago, I happened upon
yet another attack on auto repair facilities on NBC in LA. They just
couldn't express enough surprise at finding a couple of honest shops
among the crooks. I think they purposely chose the general types of
shops noted for less than honest dealings and had no idea they'd find an
honest, polite, and forthright place among their targets.
Funny, I can't remember a single TV expose on the NBC rigged exploding
gas tank, or the rigged CBS example of unintended acceleration.(Which,
BTW, defied the laws of physics, gravity, morality, nature, and all the
laws too numerous to mention.) Niether do I recall much in the way of a
well published apology for either incident, nor any reportage of the
results of the lawsuits against the networks for their criminal
deceptions and meritless attacks. Competing networks even failed to note
the results of the lawsuits. In fact, I can only recall seeing anything
about them in the trade press, not on the radio or TV. Interesting.
Kinda like not ratting on a co-defendant, or a member of another gang.
Just my $.02 (US), John
