1. Draw a conclusion about the cause of the fire or the precautions by the NHTSA before the investigation is conducted.
2. Blame the NHTSA for the headlines in a completely unrelated privately owned media source.
The article states that there is going to be an investigation, but at this time there is no reason to believe there is a real problem. Is that not accurate? Yes, the headline is about the volt catching fire, but isn't that the subject of the article? Anyone that actually reads the article knows what happened, it's not like they manipulated and cherry-picked information to paint the Volt as a dangerous vehicle. Being upset about the media using attention grabbing headlines is like blaming a week old baby for pooping itself. If you think GM is being singled out and everyone is out to get your favorite company you are sadly mistaken.

You stated that
he was biased for saying that the headline should have been worded in a more "PR-savy" way. I dislike the media just as much as the next person (and you presumably do as well), but you are putting your own tone on what he said and you don't even realize it...
As far as the Leaf thing, I bet you a lot of people on the board would be posting "hahaha Nissan, serves you right"...but I am not one of those people and I hate when people use the excuse that "because most people do something" it gives you a reason to dish it back in the same manner... You think people would have figured this out about me over the past ~4 years on the board....
