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 media have just buried the last yuppie, a pathetic creature who had not heard the news that the great pendulum of public conciousness has just swung from Greed to Compassion and from Tex-Mex to meatballs.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
“By now, legions of tireless essayists and op-ed columnists have dressed feminists down for making such a fuss about entering the professions and earning equal pay that everyone’s attention has been distracted from the important contributions of mothers working at home. This judgment presumes, of course, that prior to the resurgence of feminism in the ‘70s, housewives and mothers enjoyed wide recognition and honor. This was not exactly the case.”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
