And they're never pressed about it because the media are bought and paid for.

... for starters, because it would be bad for business. Second, because they are psychopathic liars. This stands for big oil AND big media. And third, because this is America, where it usual and customary to lie to the citizens. Fuck the Magna Carta, citizen rule and law and order. That's not who America is anymore. And if you see this thread and want to comment, don't put it off,
because it might very well be locked before you return.

I'd like to know why is it legal for these oil companies to kick owners off their property?
Not allow them anywhere near their property or the spill?
Not allow any one to film the damage?
Not allowed any one to fly overhead?

Just asking.
