Beware Ford Explorers bearing Liars

When Barry W. McCahill (president of SUV Owners of America (www.suvoa.com)) gets an OP-ED piece printed in the San Francisco Chronicle it would be nice to have some of that truth in advertising language. At least they should say, "SUV Owners of America is funded by the Automobile Industry".

Instead they are allowed to call themselves this, "a nonprofit consumer organization" and Barry can talk about his background as "a former official with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration." Not his more recent work as a shill for the auto industry and owner of his own communications firm.

I'm frankly surprised he didn't take a page from the Bush administration and call the organization: "Non-polluting, great mileage, super safe, never flip over, SUV Owners of America"
