bp putting a spin on being transparent
 

Top Google result for 'oil spill' bought by BP | Technically Incorrect - CNET News
"BP seems undeterred. It has now bought the top ad that arrives with the Google search "oil spill" in a bid to help its cause. The company seems to believe that people will be naive enough to rush to the BP version of the story, rather than, say, observing the online commentary and live video feeds that regularly show that things are not so good.

Perhaps it is true that every little ad on a beigey/yellow background in Google search makes itself more important by standing on the top of all the search results."


"And, when you go to the Web site to which the ad leads you, the most prominent thing on it surely ought to be a live video feed of what BP is doing. Instead, at the time of writing, the main headline under "Gulf of Mexico response" reads: "BP Announces First Payment on Barrier Islands Project for State of Louisiana."

Doesn't this read just a little like a sponsorship deal for a new housing project?


When a situation is this serious, put your doers center stage and show us what they're doing. Then send your talkers to the beach where they can start clearing up the mess with their own bare hands. Only then might at least some people be persuaded that BP is serious and knows what it is doing. And, what is has done. "

well thats not too surprising....

Here's how it's really going down...
