This week: Three months into the BP offshore drilling platform disaster in the Gulf of Mexico few of the “major,” or more properly put, “corporate stream” news providers still feature the story prominently, favouring instead top billing for Chelsea Clinton’s regal wedding, and other such matters of portent. But the disaster in the Gulf seeps on, and promises to do so for decades, perhaps generations to come.
Dahr Jamail is an American freelance journalist and author currently unembedded at the front lines of the BP oil well catastrophe. Dahr Jamail staying on story in the first half.
