Is anyone still having problems with "new" Michelins?

Can't tell if this is serious, but I'm going to answer like it is, in case anyone reading it takes it seriously.
No, this is not fake news. But literally 100% of it is exaggerated, misleadingly put, and/or false.
Been running Michelin almost exclusively for 9 years now. Excellent without exception. Quality is better than anything else I have ever run, which is one reason why I keep coming back. I don't run their mainstream consumer tires, though.
I'm very serious. For the record, every car I personally own, including the church van, has Michelin on it. I don't even consider other brands unless I can't get a Michelin in my sizes.
I just saw where a lot of people complain about Michelin quality and my tire distributor told me about the "coal" issue a month or so ago. Just checking to see if any of you can vouch for the story. I have never had a problem with any Michelin tire.
Then the OP is fake news
Agree with the spirit of your conclusion, but I have to harp on something.
"Fake news" is supposed to mean a completely made-up story presented as news. OP presented a lot of exaggerated/misleading/false claims, but they don't seem to have been completely fabricated. Still problematic, but different.
