Smelling a Ratt with the Repeated
Circular Promotion between Wallace and Lieber
2023 February 1
There appears to be an arrangement between KLIF Wheels host Ed Wallace and Dallas Morning News columnist Dave Lieber where each promotes the other. This was first noted here when exposing Lieber’s awarding Wallace a consumer watchdog award, when Wallace’s own words and actions reveal that is far from being one.
Lieber was again promoting Ed Wallace within his January 26th article concerning the investigation of the deadly 2021 Fort Worth toll road pileup.
How
can feds believe cars were going 100 mph in deadly 2021 Fort Worth pileup?

Ed Wallace, host of the Saturday morning Wheels with Ed Wallace on 570AM
KLIF, says: “The weather was not good. It was night and dark. Therefore, I have
serious doubts anyone was driving at 100 miles an hour given what I see as the
conditions on the road with light sleet falling.”
The inclusion of Ed Wallace within Lieber’s column is entirely gratuitous. Upon hearing the toll road operator’s claim, everyone would have doubts that people were driving at 100 MPH in icy conditions. The opinion of some car salesman turned Democrat pundit adds nothing to that which even the far below average reader already knows.
So, why would Lieber include the Wallace quote? Well, for the next two days (January 27th and 28th), Ed Wallace headlines a link to that Lieber article on his Inside Automotive web site. That drives web visitors to Lieber’s column on the Dallas Morning News site. And more traffic to his employer’s site means less likelihood of a repeat of his fate at the Star Telegram.
Lieber’s article is mostly devoid of substance. The claim of excessive speed causing the pileup raises more questions than it answers, none of which will be addressed until the final report is released. So, Lieber takes the opportunity to drive traffic to Wallace, and Wallace reciprocates in kind.
Who is Dave Lieber? Well, he bills himself as a consumer watchdog. He also was arrested for abandoning his eleven-year-old son at a restaurant.
Dave Lieber might have composed lyrics commemorating that arrest, along with his reciprocal promotion arrangement with Ed Wallace. Set to the tune of Ratt’s song “Round and Round”, his song is titled “BRATT”.

Dave Lieber Breakfast was a fight, And I crossed the line Abandoned my son, the arrest was no fun He misbehaved, drove away just myself Later that day, 4K bond to pay What ya gonna do, he really pissed me off I had enough, I had enough We leave now, he said I knew right from the beginning My son would end up walking I knew right from the start My son rides home on DART Round and round With Wallace I’ve no shame, just give him hype Round and round What comes around goes around So I’ll ignore Ed’s lies |

Round by the 1980s glam metal rock group Ratt, the following is submitted
