"Inquiry into California oil spill"

All a bit nasty and so on, but probably not much to worry about in the grander scheme of things, oil being a naturally occuring substance and all, but hey...

What I find tattifilarious is the reference to "scores of birds dead".

Dude, WTF? A ship nearly sank? Two dozen beaches closed? And a multiple of twenty birds dead?

Isn't it funny where people place their priorities? I have seen countless examples in the media regarding Israel. A dozen rockets and missles it an elementary school in Sderot, Israel fired by terrorists in the Gaza Strip, but the photograph will be of Israeli soldiers patrolling by an arab child. It is all framed to sway public opinion one way or another...it happens on every level, regarding nearly every story. We are left to the mercy of the editors. This one happened to really care about the birds.
