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:
“One can describe a landscape in many different words and sentences, but one would not normally cut up a picture of a landscape and rearrange it in different patterns in order to describe it in different ways. Because a photograph is not composed of discrete units strung out in a linear row of meaningful pieces, we do not understand it by looking at one element after another in a set sequence. The photograph is understood in one act of seeing; it is perceived in a gestalt.”
—Joshua Meyrowitz, U.S. educator, media critic. “The Blurring of Public and Private Behaviors,” No Sense of Place: The Impact of Electronic Media on Social Behavior, Oxford University Press (1985)
“The mere existence of an additional child or children in the family could signify Less. Less time alone with parents. Less attention for hurts and disappointments. Less approval for accomplishments. . . . No wonder children struggle so fiercely to be first or best. No wonder they mobilize all their energy to have more or most. Or better still, all.”
—Adele Faber (20th century)
