Not that I mind. I love my F1 and MotoGP. I just think it's funny, that's all.

"The Media" is not representative of the entire population. Most of the media (big cable stations) are liberal. Liberals tend to have environmental agendas and create and edit stories to reflect their believes. The media is not the law or the voice of anything but what directors and producers feel people should know. Why anyone would listen to the media and act like they are a force of good is beyond me.
A good chunk of the population doesn't even believe in man made global warming or that it is as bad as liberals and tree huggers make it seem. To act like buying a Prius and converting your outdoor lights to solar power will save the world is a fantasy and the media lives in it. The fact is that motorsports is a huge market raking in billions upon billions of dollars. There is not a chance that they will go away just because "the media" tells us that we need to stop driving cars or we are bad people.
The entire green movement is a fantasy. Its all marketing now. Go look at the local supermarket. Just see how many products say something about being green or creating less waste. Most of them are a bunch of BS to make you buy a product because you think you are saving the environment.
There are legit reasons to recycle and not waste. There are legit reasons to reduce our impact on the world, but most of what you here in the media is simply hypocritical.
