Different reporters are writing about what they think are important. Even in aggregate the picture is not yet complete. Congress is issuing a subpoena for Toyota documents. It's like an onion and they will eventually peel enough to get to the stinking core.
I wouldn't discount all the reporters' objectivity. I will, however, discount your judgment. You've bought a cheap product from a so-so company and your defense of it shows you are still in denial.
