I stopped reading Slashdot years ago because they couldn't keep their political bias out of their articles. Sounds like they haven't changed. Note that I have no problem with bias when they're honest about it. It's when they claimed to be impartial and objective that I stopped reading. I'm sure BP does care about the spill. But they know they've been thrown to the political wolves. They'll do whatever they can to get out of there with their hides and wallets intact (and there's nothing wrong with that: the job of a company is to make money). EDIT: for those that don't think BP was thrown to the wolves, why didn't the government have the mandated fire booms in the Gulf? That would have contained the problem before it got out of hand. There's a mentality to look toward the government to do everything, and yet when they screw things up by mismanaging things, we're blaming BP? Does this make sense to anyone?
