Motor Trend recently named the Chevrolet Volt, a car that will allow unprecedented cutbacks in gasoline consumption, its car of the year. Rush Limbaugh recently aired a diatribe against the designation with his typically low facts/blowhard ratio. Yesterday, Motor Trend responded:
All the shouting from you or from electric car purists on the left can’t distort the fact that the Chevy Volt is, indeed, a technological breakthrough. And it’s more. It’s a technological breakthrough that many American families can use for gas-free daily commutes and well-planned vacation drives. It’s expensive for a Chevy, but many of those families will find the gasoline saved worth it. If you can stop shilling for your favorite political party long enough to go for a drive, you might really enjoy the Chevy Volt. I’m sure GM would be happy to lend you one for the weekend. Just remember: driving and Oxycontin don’t mix.
I’m sure Rush will now lump Motor Trend in with the Daily Worker as an example of media with a liberal bias. Rush, the problem isn’t the media, it’s that facts have a liberal bias.
