Rarely do I pay any attention or take seriously anything coming from Fox "News". But I have to share today's experience. Two Fox pundits were busily chatting away, sounding as if they were trying to convince each other as much as anyone else of a rather astounding point of view. The reason BP has seen a precipitous drop in stock value as of late, they argue, is because the Attorney General - the Democratic Attorney General - is about to launch a criminal investigation into BP's actions surrounding the oil "spill". Anyway they were going on and on as to wheter that was a smart thing to do - didn't the Attorney General know that this sort of thing would drop BP's stock and lower their net worth? I mean after all there's going to be all these law suits and how will BP be able to pay if their stock value falls? Oh, how could he?
Not a word about the oil disaster itself or BP's complicity in the fiasco that has followed. Nope - the stock is falling because the mean ole Democratic Attorney General is going to - wait for it - INVESTIGATE - as in - do his job.
One of the worst environmental disasters in history and Fox News wants to concentrate not on the the disaster - hey whats a little oil? - and not on the people who did this - but on the people who are trying to discover what happened. And they want to indict them for even considering holding the lying, reckless bastards who allowed this to happen, then lied about it, and are still lying about it, accountable.
