Paul Voosen and Allison Winter, give a clear-headed, unemotional assessment of the situation, with no alarmism. If the rest of the media had taken that tack from the beginning, this oil spill would not rank as the most disgraceful episode of the millennium in the mass media.
When it comes to the Gulf oil spill, the media have done the exact opposite. First the media exaggerated the possible effects of the spill beyond all proportion. Then when those alarmist scenarios failed to materialize and the oil disappeared in record time, no one in the media admitted getting it all wrong. Instead they convinced the boobs that the oil is still lurking out there creating all sorts of potential hazards.
