[b]The Obama Administration and BP[/b]The Obama Administration and BP appeared to be playing a game of Keep Away with journalists, and the American public was the ultimate loser. As he lashed out in frustration at blocked media access to the spill, CNN anchor Anderson Cooper said, “If we can’t show what is happening, warts and all, no one will see what is happening and that makes it very easy to hide failure and hide incompetence…Those of us down here trying to accurately show what’s happening—we are not the enemy.”

[b]Sick fish in Gulf are alarming scientists[/b] Scientists are alarmed by the discovery of unusual numbers of fish in the Gulf of Mexico and inland waterways with skin lesions, fin rot, spots, liver blood clots and other health problems.
"It's a huge red flag," said Richard Snyder, director of the University of West Florida Center for Environmental Diagnostics and Bioremediation. "It seems abnormal, and anything we see out of the ordinary we'll try to investigate."
Are the illnesses related to the BP oil spill, the cold winter or something else?

The large amount of dispersants used to break up the oil surely didn’t help matters. I imagine BP chose to use them as by having the oil dispersed into micro droplets big gooey globs of oil were rarely seen washing up on gulf beaches.
Out of sight out of mind is my guess the reason they chose to use that tactic. I have no proof of this but I would venture to guess the dispersants have/will cause more harm than the oil itself would have if it had just been left alone.
But that would have made for more disturbing photo ops--big black globs against pure white sand Gulf beaches.
Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please.

They used corexit to "bury" the oil. It didn't just "disappear" as the numerous oil shills reported. The big gooey globs are on the bottom of the Gulf for the most part.
Besides public relations another reason they sank it was the astronomical fines (per square ft)the EPA and Coast Guard would assess if they had washed ashore. You just have to dig down about a foot or two beneath the white sand beaches to find layers of oil.
This disaster is far from over as BP's full page adds propagandize. BP runs their adds at least once a week (usually Sunday)in most of the local papers in the FL Panhandle, which may explain the newspapers' kid glove treatment of BP in this area of diminishing advertising revenue. I haven't seen any discussions of the microbes that BP is using to digest the oil, either. The media coverage is somewhat similar to Fukushima where there are a number of reactors in various stages of meltdown. The government and corporation(s)lies and the media reports what they're told to report. Just don't report the truth and facts and the story (and problem)disappears. However, eventually it will resurface as in the case of the Gulf seafood or probably later this summer when flying will be hazardous to your health due to the high levels of radiation in the atmosphere from Fukushima.

Gulf Fishermen Finding Sick Fish, Few Crabs and Shrimp[/b] [b] “In 25 years of fishing off Louisiana, I've never seen fish before
with this ugly blackness and the fish die.”- Gulf fisherman But NOAA Fisheries was not acknowledging there were an abnormal number of sick fish in the Gulf until a recent NOAA email was sent to the Gulf Council and that was picked up by the Pensacola News Journal that headlines on May 24, 2011, “NOAA Confirms Sick Fish in Gulf.” Excellent article on the GOM and its current status.
