Officials have yet to find the source of the oil spill, which has left chunky globules and long slicks near a 67-mile-long pipeline system off the coast of Louisiana.
That reporter/editor should be fined or charged with this blatant bullshit.
“The U S. Coast Guard said Monday that an estimated 1.1 million gallons of crude oil has leaked into the Gulf…” and linked the actual press release in that line.
When you actually read the press release, and then lower in the article, it says the amount is actually unknown.
They know how much oil the pipeline holds, which would be around that estimate. It could only be a couple hundred gallons that have actually leaked.
Also they are not even sure where the leak is, so it might not even be the named company’s fault.
Yeah oil industry sucks, but this sounds like a fat nothing burger that CBS is pumping for clicks. No wonder no one trusts the media.

The OP of this repost didn’t even have the decency to share the qualifications from inside the article.
They are just as terrible of an attention seeking whore as the writer of the article.

Ah yes. Much better. Personally I prefer no oil leaked myself. But you know Capitalism and all that hub bub.
I don’t disagree with your sentiment.
I think it is bad enough though, without the news source twisting it for sensationalism.
*Edit. Hmm, I guess you people are ok with lies as long as they support the narrative you want. Is this suddenly a GoP sub?
So you’re concerned with how much oil leaked? Does it matter? This shouldn’t be happening.
“I think it is bad enough though, without the news source twisting it for sensationalism.”
Are you stupid?
Yes
