Driving Miss Daisy’s Prius

After suffering major embarrassment over the "hokey" story of the California Freeway runaway Prius that after investigation did not runaway on its own;

-
The media jumped on the story about a New York woman who supposedly crashed her runaway Prius into a rock wall.
Yet another bogus Toyota story! Police investigators determined that she held down the accelerator pedal, did not hit the brakes, that the pedal returned to normal after she released it and that the car engine stopped when the stop button was activated.

Clearly the media is in major support of Obama’s Government Motors and the UAW’s campaign to disparage Toyota to help their sales. And much to the chagrin of Obama and associates, is the fact that none of Toyota’s 36,000 employees in the US belong to the UAW.
-
The media continues to avoid the bigger story asking why the Obama team have not published how they have processed the 30,000 auto complaints that owners have input to the NTSB during Obama’s first year in office. What cars are involved, what recalls have been done and what is the status of all 30,000?
