It’s no secret that there is an oil spill. Why no pictures? We’re not talking about exploitative photos of human corpses here.

Because without pictures the majority of people will forget about it in a while (i.e. along the same vein as the “if I see it then it’s true; so if I don’t see it it could be not-true” psychology-idea).

This is at least one side effect of the public education system producing so many functional illiterates.

I’ve seen photos of oil covered birds and heard reports of dead creatures on the MSM as well as public radio. Tonight they were showing the oil covered marsh reeds, which kills them.
