Oil continues to gush into the Gulf of Mexico from BP's Deepwater Horizon rig, but something else has been gushing too lately: BP's public relations offensive. From controlling media access to the site, as Mac McClelland reported to us last week, to buying up search terms on the Web so that Google drives traffic to BP's own website, the oil company seems determined to burnish its image even as its oil continues to cover the coasts. Mike Papantonio joins Laura Flanders on GritTV to discuss the ongoing PR offensive from BP--and whether we should buy any of it.

1. I agree with Pap. I am sick of these privitization people complaining about

Obama not doing anything. You voted for the smaller government, no regulation folks, stop complaining that Obama isn't doing enough.

2. Perhaps they don't realize what small government means

They think it just means no taxes, they don't get it also means government is impotent and unable to check the power of big business. But hey, we may have an oily coast and a destroyed eco system to the south of us but at least we're "free!"
