How much should you charge for a photograph?BP continues to bar the media from doing its job
Last week, BP proclaimed that they are not restricting cleanup workers from speaking to the media.
The above video indicates otherwise.
On Wednesday, BP Chief Operating Officer Doug Suttles sent a letter to CNN stating the following:
“Recent media reports have suggested that individuals involved in the cleanup operation have been prohibited from speaking to the media, and this is simply untrue,” BP Chief Operating Officer Doug Suttles said in a letter e-mailed to CNN by a company spokesman.
“BP fully supports and defends all individuals rights to share their personal thoughts and experiences with journalists if they choose.”
But on Friday when a New Orleans TV reporter tried to step onto a public beach to interview workers, he was met by a threatening security guard who forbade him from entering the beach.
The reporter entered the beach anyway with the guard at his heels. When the reporter asked the workers if they would like to be interviewed, they all said no.
But it was obvious they all feared getting retaliated against.
Comments
Good for the reporter, though the BP “security” guys were total fags. It’s obvious they were intimidating the cleanup workers there.
Well, the good thing about this is that someone from the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Dept. got on the case of the guards, even though it still didn’t net the reporter anything.
That reporter was awesome! He asked all the right questions, even if he didn’t get any answers.
There are going to be a million more youtube videos like this before it’s all said done. I am really starting to believe I need to haul my own ass down to the gulf coast so I can document some of this shit for myself.

Reporter rocked, but should have pressed harder. What a total and complete clusterfuck this entire calamity is.
Until now I have resisted being drawn into the Zeitgeistesque theories about USA, Inc. and it’s subservience to Big Money.
When put into context with much that has happened since President Eisenhower’s departure speech (“…beware the military industrial complex…”) it is difficult if not impossible to watch that report and not feel that the America we were promised – the one the Madison Ave propaganda machine sells – is gone.
America is Dead… Long live America!

Now I’m tempted to volunteer for cleanup just to offer an interview. (╬ ಠ益ಠ)
I don’t see how it was ‘obvious’ though I can see being suspicious about it.
