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 removed as the writer of the article.
I mean the criticism seemed pretty valid to me. The commentor was criticizing the writers and editors involved in writing the story, and the article’s claims are somewhat misleading. Checks out for me.
They weren’t criticizing you for posting it, though, so I don’t know why you seem to be taking it so personally.

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?
Gotcha. Hey, how much oil has to be objectively confirmed to 7 significant figures before You’re concerned? How much is okay for you?
Any.
Doesn’t mean I’m going to lie about the amount to get clicks.
Let me ask you a similar question.
How much of a lie does it need to be before you are willing to call it a lie?
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
Sorry. I read your comment quickly and didn’t realize you were criticizing the original writer. I apologize.

Is his criticism valid? If yes, then you being outraged is a weird move.
I wouldn’t have responded if I thought the criticism was valid.

I reread it. You’re right.
Nice gate keeping. Pretty sad that is the best you can do.
Gatekeeping from what? Watching LOTR for the 44th time?
