Edmunds.com Fights Back After White House Attack
« on: October 30, 2009, 03:44:18 PM »
First it was Fox News now it is that political news juggernaut Edmunds.com.  If you don't know, Edmunds.com, is an online resource for automotive consumer information.

Perhaps a more correct title would be, White House continues policy of intimidation of media outlets in an effort to limit fact-finding that reveals the Maximum Leader has no cloths.

Excerpts from the article:

Last night we were shocked to see that The White House was using its blog to tear into car website Edmunds.com over some analysis it did of Cash-For-Clunkers. To recap: Edmunds.com says the program was a gigantic waste with little effect. The White House disagrees.

At issue is one point of the analysis showing the taxpayer cost for every incremental vehicle sold was $24,000. To be clear, Edmunds.com is not disputing the government's statements regarding total voucher applications, vehicles sold or voucher values. The key question is how many of these sales would have occurred anyway.

With all respect to the White House, Edmunds.com thinks that instead of shooting the messenger, government officials should take heart from the core message of the analysis: the fundamentals of the auto marketplace are improving faster than the current sales numbers suggest.

They are also lying about the number of "Stimulus jobs", One of the programs on PJTV said there were actually less than 40,000 Todays they are claiming over 600,000 after yesterdays AP story that numbers were inflated by AT LEAST 17%

If you repeat a lie often enough, it becomes the truth.
Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom.
It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves.
-William Pitt, British Prime-Minister (1759-1806)
