out of sight where it could not be recovered. They do not mention that this was done to avoid paying the fines per barrel of oil leaked, but that is the main reason they did that. These oil companies do not like cleaning up their messes, too costly to do right! None of the major media outlets have made an attempt to report what has been going on in the Gulf and in the Court room. BP has been allowed to control the message by spending large amounts in ads along the Gulf coast. Nationally, it is proof positive that our major media outlets are using our airwaves to lie and mislead us for money!
When will we ever get enough honest politicians to make the changes we need in busting up the oligopolies in banking and the media?
