I live 5000 miles up north west in Canada. Yet I am besieged by anxiety about the ongoing destruction of a vital environment of the gulf, which will affect us Canadians in the long run. BP’s lies, deceipt, inneptitude, greed and arrogance are a source of raging anger to many of us, who stand helpless in the face of mounting man-made disaster of the oil spill in the gulf. “Even as the massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico has raised fears about the safety of offshore drilling, Chevron Canada Ltd. is going ahead with plans this week to drill one of the deepest offshore oil wells in the world off the coast of Newfoundland and Labrador”. You can read the news of this annoucements on this site ( http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/20100510/chevron-oil-well-100510/20100510?hub=TopStoriesV2 ). It is unnerving that such an annoucement would come at such an inopportune time, not to mention the fact that the well will be located nearly at twice the depth ad the Deep Horizon. God help us.

What really gets me is how AP seems to accept it with perfect equanimity that “Early Thursday, officials said the process was going well, but later in the day they announced pumping had been suspended 16 hours earlier.”

There’s no outrage whatsoever. And that statement is buried a good 10 paragraphs into their story.

And no one else in the mainstream media seems to have even got to the point of pointing out that BP said things all through Thursday that were revealed in the evening to be outright lies.

So when you talk about aiding and abetting disinformation, the media is playing a starring role too.

Thank you for digging out the quotes. It’s been ever so frustrating that these folks aid and abet disinformation. They are thus wasting my time and yours along with destroying their own trustworthiness.

I like your moniker for bp!
