So whenever there is an environmental as well as a health disaster you can count on APCO? Kinda figures that BP recruits someone who was able to defend a controversial figure like Cheney. Man, they must be desperate...which of course is bad news, the hole will probably keep leaking for several more weeks to come.
I agree that people would have no problem finding BP's website to get their side of the story. I also think it is somewhat distasteful to try and hide information (if that is indeed what they intend by this). However, don't you think (most) people are smart enough to work around this move by BP?
My main concern is that BP spends huge sums of money trying to make themselves look good on a search engine, and then ends up having taxpayers subsidize their cleanup efforts. BP is responsible and should have to pay the entirety of the damages they caused.
With all the "news" outlets calling it something OTHER than THE BP OIL SPILL the public is constantly NOT reminded that it's BP's spill.
I assume BP, and the oil industry in general, is also hiring people to blog in their favor, and is asking the "news" outlets (who get their advertising dollars) to call it "the Deepwater Horizon oil catastrophe". They make it sound almost like a NATURAL disaster. Maybe that's why the Reight keeps trying to associate it with Katrina.
If they used that money to compensate for the damage they have done to the environment, that would have been acceptable but using money to cover up the oil spill is an insult to the communities and livelihood that will be damaged by the oil spill
BTW, Mr. Crowley, it would be the producers who are jacking things around. Remember, this is Hollywood, what you see is not necessarily what you get. They are the masters of twisting things around - it's hard to find reality in that town.

THE BP OIL SPILL
