Exactly gulf shore tourist destinations are fighting desperately against a tide of Alarmist Media to get the word out that not every inch of every beach is covered in oil. Millions have been lost do to peoples false perceptions of the problem alone.It's not as bad as you apparently think it is (i.e., as bad as the media are making it look). I live in Louisiana and working on addressing the impacts of this oil spill has dominated my life for the past couple of months. The Gulf environment is breaking the oil down, depleting it of toxicity, very well. Yes, there are adverse impacts. But this isn't the disaster the media is portraying it as. In fact a lot of the damage is due more to perception than reality.
Personally I think the resistance to allowing press to cover the clean up has less to do with them not wanting us to see how bad it is, I think they want us to think it is worse than it is.
