Perplexing how often her small cable show manages to trump the bigger players when it comes to poignant matters.
Makes you wonder: Is her investigative team that great, or are most news outlets controlled by so many corporate interests that they can not report on controversial topics with the same level of impunity?

I"'m not sure what the revelation here is, exactly. It's happened before.... yes, no news. They have used the same kinds of things to try to plug it and sometimes they have worked, and sometimes they haven't (look at other oil rig disasters in history)... yes, no news. The oil companies are greedy pigs and we all hate them for making too much money.... yes, that's everywhere on TV these days.
The only thing that WASN'T touched on, which would have been an interesting and unique slant on this story, was that with a similar spill in 1979 that lasted for 10 months.... the world did not actually end, and everything in the US eastern seaboard did not die forever... as the poli/enviromental groups would have you believe. I wonder why this wasn't commented upon in that piece?
