Check My Ads' earlier incarnation Sleeping Giants cost Breitbart (Steve Bannon) thousands of advertisers by simply pointing out where the ad dollars were going.
They often didn't know.
New day, new foe: Fox. Lets go.

NHTSA: "On average in these (16) crashes, Autopilot aborted vehicle control less than one second prior to the first impact."
Tesla/Musk: data shows Autopilot was not engaged in the moment of the collision.

Got a call from the White House! You know how they're always planning to take your guns? Well, they pulled a name out of a hat, and I got the job! I'm gonna go around the country and come take everyone's guns.

Rest assured that your guns will be perfectly safe. My plan is to give them to the gays so they can force you to marry them.

I wouldn't put a penny into internal combustion engines now, said Michigan-based auto consultant Sandy Munro, who estimates EVs will make up half of global new car sales by 2028.
