So ironically, the day after Mr. Kendall’s gag about electric-car battery fires, a conventional car actually did catch fire (albeit, a tiny one) just a short distance away. And you wouldn’t have known without me just telling you. The car was surrounded by our videographers who could splashed the whole scene on the web – but wisely didn’t because – guaranteed – it would have been misinterpreted. That’s good judgment. Which -- until the NHTSA report is released -- I sure wish my colleagues working in the 24-hr-seven-day-a-week news-churn, would show a little more of.
