If anyone wonders if the media is really that bad, or: do paying customers of the media have the media in their pocket?
Well, Toyota is known to be one of the largest buyers in the world when it comes to paid advertising.
You would think that becoming aware of fraud by Toyota manipulating exhaust fume numbers, after the huge VW-diesel fraud, is really big news.
A lot about this Toyota-fraud can be found on the TMC forum, including Toyota going through the dust via statements from themselves.
In The Netherlands there is a popular online news website, called nu.nl (The Dutch word ‘nu' translates as ’now’).
Because it remained silent about this big Toyota news at nu.nl, I alerted the editors about this scandal around a week ago.
It could be that such great news has escaped their attention, right?
Well, in the meantime, very exciting (/s) messages have appeared on nu.nl about e.g.:
- Dutch people who keep their mobile phone longer these days, and
- That in many restaurants the information about allergens is far below standard.
But.... NOTHING about the fraud by Toyota.
N=1, but it does confirm my thoughts about ‘journalism’ and the media.
