Lauren Fix Takes Ethanol Opposition To A New Level
Of Stupidity
RED ALERT!, RED ALERT!
Originally published August 28, 2015
In January 2013, I wrote an editorial lambasting several critics of ethanol. The
primary antagonist of the piece is AAA, but a close second is the automotive
media personality Lauren Fix, who uses "The Car Coach" as her tagline nickname. The title of that editorial is "AAA Blunder on Ethanol Sets Off Firestorm
of Criticism." (This article is included earlier in this book)
My editorial has its roots in a couple of AAA press releases that denigrate ethanol. Those press releases were incorrect and stupid. It was bad enough that
AAA made stupid statements, but then Melissa Francis, host of FOX News'
"MONEY" show added stupid juice to the fire by inviting Ms. Fix to come on as
a guest to explain and expand upon the stupid AAA press releases.
Allow me to explain my consistent use of the word "stupid." Some readers will
think, "Gosh, Marc is awfully childish in calling all of these people stupid; can't
he express himself any better?"
