Is the Media Deliberately Avoiding Saying 'BP Caused the Oil Spill?'
The media is busily reporting the Oil Spill in the Gulf of Mexico. The only problem here is that the oil spill should be titled the British Petroleum (BP) Oil Spill. The media is totally avoiding saying BP America (the combination of Amoco Oil and BP) caused the spill. Now why is that? Is the media trying to deliberately put the blame on the Obama administration versus the corporation that caused the incident? Why would the media do such a thing: to create a villain other than the true villain? This could be one of the reasons that people have lost faith with the mainstream media: they are so easy to see through.
The key here folks is that BP caused the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. When you watch television anytime today, observe how the media is avoiding 'Who' caused the spill.
But watch the media try to bring in the word Katrina. Just watch them. Katrina was a natural disaster turned debacle due to the inactions of the FEMA leadership and the inaction of our former president. This disaster was caused by a corporation with billions of dollars of resources. Within minutes of the disaster the Coast Guard was on the scene. It was believed that BP was capable of handling their spill. They were not and the government was all ready to go.

[b]Obama Vows BP will Pay for 'Massive' Damage caused by 30-mile oil slick off Gulf Coast[/b] President Barack Obama vowed today that BP would pay for the 'massive' damage caused by an oil slick off the Gulf Coast. The US leader flew to Louisiana yesterday to inspect efforts to combat the effects of what he described as a 'potentially unprecedented environmental disaster'. "BP is responsible for this leak. BP will be paying the bill," he said, as the widening slick headed towards delicate wetlands and wildlife along the southern coastline. Piling on the pressure on the British energy giant, the US president said the oil threatens not only the environment but an abundant fishing industry, which he called 'the heartbeat of the region's economic life'. 'We're going to do everything in our power to protect our natural resources, compensate those who have been harmed, rebuild what has been damaged and help this region persevere like it has done so many times before,' he ad ... more 7113 -

I've checked out the news channels yesterday and today and they are doing nothing but hammering BP Oil! BP tried to offer folks $5000 to sign over their rights to not sue them but it is a value that is so low that no one is biting. (no pun intended) Education is a tool. Use it. -

"The environment" (hey, that's us isn't it?) takes the hit while BP's clients (hey, that's us isn't it?) will pay for any cleanup, plus premiums, when they hike up the oil prices. BP pays for nothing. JFSMH AASojourn "If I could have convinced more people that they were slaves, I could have freed thousands more." Harriet Tubman -
