Did Ford take 'secret government money' while earning praise for avoiding bailout?

Ford Motor Co. earned a great deal of consumer respect when it returned to health without the need for a federal bailout accepted by General Motors and Chrysler.

But did Ford actually take "secret government money" to help it stay afloat?

That's the controversial contention made this week by former Detroit Free Press auto reporter Justin Hyde, now writing for Jalopnik.

As Hyde points out, the federal government on Wednesday revealed the indentity of companies it aided during the financial crisis through the Federal Reserve's Commercial Paper Funding Facility.

Set up in 2008, the CPFF helped companies obtain high-interest, short-term loans -- known as commerical paper -- during the height of the international credit crunch. Some outlets, such as Fox Business, have referred to the program as the "commercial paper bailout."
