Fox News is just passing along a Reuters report. Reuters is certainly not a "tool of the right". They, along with AP, UPI, CNN, MSNBC, most major newspapers and magazines, the ABC channels and taxpayer supported NPR/PBS all lean left. Fox News slants what is available to them to the right. In other words, they give emphasis on news that serves the right. The rest slant the news to the left. Here is a good example. When the Reverend Wright controversy arose, Fox New covered it extensively. The rest of the media tried to ignore it. PBS on their website, however, decided to laugh it all off saying "many people just don't understand Black Liberation Theology". I don't think anyone has anything to gain by this story of Nissan moving away from electric cars. It is just stupid of Fox to be repeating an uninformed story put out by Rueters.
