Roger, the bottom line is that sensationalism sells. The media will always add fuel to the fire in the interest of ratings. Whenever things like this happen, conspiracy theories start coming out of the woodwork. The truth is usually much more mundane.

In the case of the gulf spill, I think time will reveal that it was nothing more than a case of accident-meets-incompetence-meets-insufficient adherence to established safety and testing procedures.
