What’s really too bad about that is that the “delay” in the announcement to the media about the size of the spill was a totally unacceptable five hours.
Five hours?
This is reason for outrage?
The gear was there and the cleanup was underway. Maybe they were busy getting real response going instead of chatting with reporters, who so far as I know, aren’t cleaning up anything.
Five hours is too long to let the *reporters* wait? How do they say that with a straight face?

Are they claiming there are any consequences for the delay?
I’m guessing that the Coast Guard talked to California officials much faster.
