I have been suspicious all along. From the moment Chris Matthews( I feel a tingle up my leg) went on the Jay Leno show(which is pro obama) I had a bad feeling that the press is in bed with BP! All I needed was a connection, some tangible proof.
Also, Matthews had on a defense Lawyer last week. He said, that BP has a war room and they are saying How are we making out? He said, that people will believe almost everything the media tells them(I could hear Matthews laughing in the background)! Then he said the killer, that the media is purporting it is someone elses fault(ie: the President) and that is exactly what BP wants. HMMM!
Join me over the jump for my article I found on Washingtpon Post 44:
And here is the Proof that we all have been waiting for, the tangible evidence that the Media is in bed with BP and the Blame the President meme was a calculated pr stunt!

[As the environmental catastrophe in the Gulf continues, beleaguered international oil firm BP is beefing up its communications apparatus and turning to some of Washington's best known lobbyists and public relations pros.
The latest addition: the bipartisan corporate communications firm of Purple Strategies. Helmed by former Bush strategist Alex Castellanos and Democratic media consultant Steve McMahon (whom some may recall from his days cutting ads for former Vermont governor Howard Dean), the company is behind BP CEO Tony Hayward's Thursday advertisement seeking to repair the company's image -- and his own -- according to a report in CNN, where Castellanos is also an on-air contributor. BP approached Purple Strategies last week about taking on the work, ABC reports.]
Hayward calls the spill a "a tragedy that should never have happened" and apologizes to those affected by it in the Gulf region in the ad (above). "I'm deeply sorry," he says and promises, "We will make this right."

Need I say more? These figure heads are all over MSNBC and CNN> With connections to Matthews and Ed Shultz, in particular! Fascinating! How many more people does BP hire that work for the MEDIA?
Anyways, just thought you all would like to know that the Media is enabling BP!
