The White House Stupidly Goes To War With Car Web Site Edmunds.com
Business Insider ^ | Joe Weisenthal

Posted on 10/30/2009 8:56:49 AM PDT by big black dog

It is an odd, and we'd say regrettable, pattern of this White House that it lets itself get dragged down into fights with specific media outlets.

George W. Bush experienced acrimony with the New York Times, but for the most part, other than general frustrations of a conservative administration, complaining about a liberal media, it was no big deal.

But in addition to Fox News, now The White House is going after highly-respected and influential car site Edmunds .com.

They're actually using The White House blog to dispute the site's analysis of Cash-For-Clunkers (via Detroit News).

The post is snarkily titled: "Busy Covering Car Sales on Mars, Edmunds.com Gets It Wrong (Again) on Cash for Clunkers"

Harsh!

I saw the Edmunds guy explain their methodology on tv.
Let Baraq go on and explain his too.

Sorry, wrong answer.

edmunds.com was very useful to me and my husband when we were looking to purchase a vehicle. No wonder Bambi hates it, it assist capitalists in making informed decisions.

I think we're starting to see a pattern emerge here...Mr. Thinskin wants to take on everyone who doesn't kiss his ass.

Edmunds used simple math. That is not taught at Harvard Law. Obama is a “Clunkhead”.

Watch for liberal hostility to begin against this automotive website along the lines of their fury for Glen Beck. Edmunds.com will become Olberman's 'The Worst Person In The World'.

Bet me anything this lunacy won't happen.

Obamessiah and his evil minions/admin are out of their minds. EDMUNDS is one of the most reputable if not THE most reputable web site when it comes to HONESTY and GENUINLY ACCURATE information when it comes to anything and everything having to do with the ACTUAL/REAL cost and value of domestic and foreign autos.

Lets see, should we believe Obama and his habitual lies or an organization that has perpetually sought to provide HONEST and ACCURATE information to the American public? As for me, I will take EDMUNDS over the lying Obama and his minions any day of the week.

RUSH just mentioned EDMUNDS and the fact that the White House attack is putting EDMUNDS on the map. And well they should be, EDMUNDS is OUTSTANDING, A trillion times better than "Kelley Blue Book"!

Hang tough EDMUNDS, you are telling the TRUTH and we support YOU!

Obama and his gang are giving Edmund’s millions in free publicity;and it also diverts attention from the U.S. imposed Honduran dictatorship restoration.

How many jobs would have been created if that $24,000 a car was not stolen from the tax payer? Considering money spent by the public is multiplied about 8 times as it changes hands. Each car sold actually took $192,000 out of circulation. Meaning the depression would be over by now if they had not stolen our money to pay for this boondoggle.
