Comments are a major part of Green Car Reports, and we think they're one of the reasons we've attained a surprisingly large and diverse audience of readers. But to stay useful, all comments have to be moderated—which is something our tiny staff spends a great deal of time on. We respond to all comments flagged as inappropriate, and inspect all live links before they're posted. DON'T MISS: Why we moderate comments on Green Car Reports Still, a few commenters among the many have particular axes to grind, and it's possible that their posts repeatedly strike the same notes while staying...

The news cycle can be a funny thing. We happen to have three stories today about concerns with plug-in cars: Consumer Reports' dead Fisker Karma test car, questions on the real-world range of the 2012 Tesla Model S at speed, and the so-far all-but-invisible 2012 Ford Focus Electric. We often get criticized in story comments for being biased against one particular plug-in vehicle or another, or for reporting negative news about some automotive startup company. Let's be clear about one thing here: Our job is not to be advocates for any specific type or make of green car. Our job is to report...
