The Oil Spill Whiners

Watching NBC News tonight and they're anchoring from New Orleans on the 5th anniversary of Katrina. Most of the coverage is predictable and absurdly sympathetic all things considered. As if that weren't enough, they just had a piece on about one of the many fishing boats doing oil clean-up work for BP. The captain is whining about the fact BP may be pulling out because there just isn't a lot of oil in the water. The captain is concerned he won't be able to make as much fishing now. Really? Isn't that your job and don't you know more than anyone this oil spill was grotesquely exaggerated and you profited by gouging BP? I talked to a number of correspondents and producers during the Chelsea wedding who told me they couldn't find enough oil for the network types back in New York. BP was extorted by the environmentalists and the liberal media.
