One head of a very prominent or previously prominent cable news network direct told his reporters NOT to chase down the source of something HUGE. Really terrible. Lapped up by the masses.With all the 'spin' going on...it's hard to believe anything in the news anymore. It's also hard to believe so much actual news is left unreported.
One reason I will never take Consumer Reports serious on anything with an engine using internal combustion.I really don't believe a lot of this stuff.
Especially when no one is clearly collecting data using a logical controlled and reviewable method - let alone a method without bias.
Let's compare by fleet age and count. I remember reading about aging cars and fire risk. Are new-ish gas cars really likely to self ignite and burn to the ground?
What is not mentioned here is the number of cars that are set on fire. This is a regular occurrence where I live and I suspect it happens everywhere. A car will be stolen and later found burning and abandoned.
These could be counted as vehicle fires by the fire dept.
