Anyone think what I thought when you heard the story of the "runaway Prius"??
Did you also hear the 911 call made by the driver of the supposedly runaway car - made while he was driving...
He was able to make a 911 call, and stayed on the line with 911 personnel for 23 minutes!
... but when told repeatedly by the 911 operator to shift the car out of gear or shut off the engine, he hemmed and hawed and mostly ignored the suggestion or hinted he didn't have a free hand because he was talking on the cell phone..or for some reason he was afraid to do so as he might actually succeed and slow down then get rear-ended!
Now evidence is coming out that this was just another monster hoax...
a way to get fame and fortune and be able to get in on a lucrative lawsuit against Toyota...or at least get a free car..
...and just coincidentally the guy in question is filing bankruptcy and is $700,000 in debt.
Plus, the guy has made money filing suspicious insurance claims in the past and owns an adult swinger web site.
Possibly the bigger theme here is how the so-called "mainstream media" never once questioned this guy nor even asked the proper questions that may have revealed this was a hoax...
it was almost as if the media was willingly playing along with the guy....likely because it does make good news, it does sell newspapers, and anyway...why not bring down a major worldwide automaker in the process....after all, they are thel bad guys here.
Here are several stories...the first one is pretty convincing
that this might have been a hoax from the beginning and the media fell for it...
Lastly....you wonder why would the media be complicit in lobbying against auto makers? Well apparently it has happened before...
One comments in one of the above links talks about how CNN has done this before...(and btw- I saw this CNN piece and it was indeed aiming to paint the automakers as big bad guys...)
"...a couple of CNN anchors coaching people on how to "turn lemons into lemonade" by take advantage of the Lemon Law.
They were targeting people in Atlanta ... trying to get them to game the system and get a free car out of the deal."
