Two Federal Budgets Were Passed and Gannett Remained Silent...... Why?

"A shortage of reporting manifests itself in invisible ways: stories not written, scandals not exposed, government waste not discovered, health dangers not identified in time, local elections involving candidates about whom we know little," FCC Report

Randy,

This is clearly not the first time issues surrounding the Leaf's battery

have been raised. With the Congressional stalemate over the federal budget, we

should revisit the issues of the battery and the federal support it receives.

Let's discuss.

Mark

Mr. Silverman,

When reviewing your messages to me YOU were blowing me off. That scared me

because you're the editor of the largest paper in Tennessee.

The Renault Three have been deemed innocent and have been vindicated in large

part due to the actions of the French media, this week It became obvious the

Tennessean was not going to write about my whistle blowing and harassment i've

received due in large part of my vocal concerns about the EV. The accused

Renault executives had some of the same concerns about the electric cars

unknowns. The falsley accuaed spies were lucky for in Paris the press asked

Renault questions, this forcing transparency.

America has funded Carlos Ghosn's EV dream with over a billion dollars of DOE

loans-stimulas money and other taxpayer funded sources.

Soon Congress will try to pass a budget that "ups the ante" and in my

mind that puts too much American taxpayer money on the table. The

funds for subsidies need to go to "cars that people will want to buy"

The Leaf battery was created in the 90's. It's already proven in "real world"

driving that it did not meet the 100 miles per charge expectations. Also ghosn

says he'd have to sell a million of them before the Leaf will become

"profitable". That's Not going to happen with that design and the inconsistant

range.

Current Concern:

Quick chargers should not be built until America has one plug in standard for

fast chargers. Too much money is being wasted and YOUR paper remains silent.

??? WHY

Americans are suffering in this bad economy. The people need the

press to aak the tough questions and to report the news that will promote better

use of taxpayer spending
