Why doesn't CNN cover gas-guzzling?

Earlier this week I commented on a CNN article that called hybrid cars hype, more on this.

Why so many hybrid critics? Let's be real, hybrids account for around 1% of U.S. sales. Don't like 'em, don't buy 'em.

Perhaps you don't buy the foreign oil dependency and terrorism connection. Fine. Perhaps you don't buy the fossil fuel, pollution, and global warming connection. Fine.

Do you buy it when the President of the United States calls on all Americans to conserve gasoline in the wake of two hurricanes that have significantly affected gasoline supply?

If not, go ahead and bury your head back in the sand now.

If you do buy the argument that Katrina and Rita require all Americans to help the Nation by conserving, then what do you think about the fact that GM has decided to wager its future on its most gas-guzzling vehicles, despite the President, despite the gas shortage?

Are American corporations above Americans?

Why are critics focusing on hybrids, instead of gas-guzzling vehicles? Which vehicles have a real impact on America right now? Which vehicles provide the greatest amount of advertising dollars?

Is there a connection?
