Media Attention
Consolidated Robotics has, by and large, avoided the controversy and media spotlight afforded its parent company Halliburton in relation to the George W. Bush Administration. This is probably because the company was not formally associated with Halliburton, beyond the occasional consulting project, prior to its acquisition in 2005.
Nevertheless, several of Consolidated' high-ranking executives—including Jason Molloy—were contributors to Bush's election campaigns, both in Texas and for the Presidency of the United States.

Famous quotes containing the words media and/or attention:
“The corporate grip on opinion in the United States is one of the wonders of the Western World. No First World country has ever managed to eliminate so entirely from its media all objectivity—much less dissent.”
—Gore Vidal (b. 1925)
“We like the chase better than the quarry.... And those who philosophize on the matter, and who think men unreasonable for spending a whole day in chasing a hare which they would not have bought, scarce know our nature. The hare in itself would not screen us from the sight of death and calamities; but the chase, which turns away our attention from these, does screen us.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
