Remember that whole bit about BP recovering 5,000 barrels of oil per day? Well (shocker) it turns out, not so much:
BP has said the amount of oil recovered from a leaking Gulf of Mexico oil well on Thursday was less than half an earlier estimate.
BP said it siphoned 2,200 barrels in the 24-hour period to midnight on Thursday, down from an estimate of 5,000 barrels earlier in the day.
Off by more than half. Seriously, why does anyone take BPs numbers seriously? They might as well tell us that no oil is being spilled, whatsoever. Or that they're capturing all of it. Or the world is flat. Doesn't matter. MSM continue to treat BP's word as the "best estimate" out there, despite the nearly constant revisions.
Worse yet, the revisions seem to always make the situation worse. It'd be one thing if their revisions at least occasionally made the situation look better rather than worse. But no, that hasn't happened yet. Why? Because BP is lying. BP knows damn well that they're lying. And they're going to unfold the horror they've created slowly.
You're the frog, and they're trying to boil you slowly so you don't do anything about it.
