The grey areas look like clouds, not an oil slick.

Surely you don’t mean that the liberal-biased media is misleading (lying) and hyping this story to further their leftist agenda, do you? [innocent look]

NOAA posts trajectory maps. Even these are somewhat inaccurate and based on assumptions of where the oil is going. For example, the damage to LA is so far limited to a couple of small areas, but may grow over the next 24 to 48 hours.

The point is that shoreline damage is largely being overblown by the media, such as reports of tarballs in the Florida Keys (I can’t remember a time when I haven’t seen tar balls on FL beaches on my annual trips over the last 30 years). And talk about beaches being closed in FL, AL, and MS over the last couple of weeks (which never happened).

The actual spill is serious enough without the trumped up lies being told by the media.

how do we KNOW this is a recent photo and not from days or weeks ago?

I am suspicious of all govt. controlled entities now.
It is clear they are hiding facts and info.

This slick is their creation. By blocking every sane and reasonable attempt to drill on land, they’ve given us today’s scenario. Ditto for having to transport oil across the sea when we’ve got 270+ years supply right here in America.

Who is suffering? Who the media say is suffering or who?

I’m in New Orleans by the Gulf Coast. I’m not suffering and I don’t believe a damn thing the liberal mainstream media says.

I don’t watch tv or read their newspapers.

What happened to the media’s fake disasters, global warming, Swine Flu, sars, bird flu, toyota brakes, you name it?
