Just my two cents...
The oil industry is going to feel the wrath of the media just like aviation does whenever there is a crash. For the next 6-12 months, anytime anything happens on a rig, from someone stubbing their toe getting out of bed to a fire, will be front page news. Every media outlet is just looking to break the next big oil spill. Truth be told (I grew up on the Gulf coast, and know how extensive the oil industry is), there are thousands of rigs scattered all over the Gulf, and minor incidents do happen. The media is quick to jump to conclusions, and compare to the big disaster, and like I have said will be reporting every little issue. They do the same thing after an aircraft accident, all of a sudden every GA plane with an engine hiccup is news.

Unfortunately Davy, the media has no understanding of the old saying, 'the truth hurts'. And even if they did, they would still do exactly as you stated. IMHO, the media is becoming more and more like they are portrayed in movies, not a desirable quality.
Did I mention I NEVER watch the news anymore. Its no wonder so many people in our country are on anti-depressant medication. If I watched the news every night, I probably would be too.
+1. If it is really important, they will interrupt what ever program I might be watching anyway, or I'll read about it here.
this whole post has been very interesting ,I watch Fox news in cable, and they are bit exaggerated too, But freedom of speech is the most important so No matter how the media exaggerates a news ,You have something that others don't and when you don't have it is when you realize how valuable it is ..

Well said Alex.. You've described my thoughts to a tee. Something is often better than nothing. It is up to us to decide if it's truth or fiction..
