Most of the articles I've

Most of the articles I’ve read about the Northern Alliance have some sort of Toyota truck/SUV product placement in them. If I’m Joe American and I want to be patriotic is it okay if I buy Toyota products instead of the equivalent American car?

Does Toyota have a great marketing team or are journalists taught to place product endorsements in their articles as best they can? I don’t see them noting the manufacturers of the guns, bombs and warplanes with the same fervor.
