AP's Kravitz Plays 'Let's Pretend the New-Home Market Is Recovering' A

Media Hail GM ‘Record’ Profits, Forget to Mention GM Doesn’t Pay
One thing I’ve learned in the year I have spent tracking General Motors cum Government Motors (GM) - and all its Crony Socialist, green non-energy “energy”, flammable absurdities - is the fact that the car media are every bit the Leftist open-channel steno pool as are the political media.
