Will Washington "Abandon" Detroit?

Oh this gets my goat.

Today on the MSN homepage, is the headline: "Will Washington Abandon Detroit?"

What? Abandon?

I think the headline should read: "Republicans get smart - Auto Industry out of luck, out of time for needed change."

Washington isn't 'abandoning' detroit if they don't give them billions of dollars, anymore than washington is 'abandoning' ANY company by NOT giving them money. At what point did NOT giving away taxpayer money becoming 'abandoning'???

Truth is - the republicans just MIGHT get smart enough NOT to pass this. It is NOT the responsibility of the American Taxpayer to ensure a dinosaur business model and concept stay what some might consider 'viable'.

So where does the media, (in this case MSN) get the right to suggest such a thing? Whatever happened to impartial news? How is it that the news/media is allowed to comment on somethings, but choose not to on others?

The media was clearly part of the fear mongering / panic pushing that got the $700 Billion dollar bailout. Maybe they plan on switcing to be a 'bank' so that they can get money too??? And here they go again.
