If ever there was an Emmy award for shamelessly corporate sponsored television news Candy Crowley and CNN should be honored as their coverage of the crude oil contamination that started in the gulf has been sponsored by BP. BP the company that owns the oil and whose industry trailing record on the environment was matched only by its industry leading ad campaign promoting itself as green. Any real journalist covering this disaster would reject doing so while being paid for their work by BP. Maybe CNN is just trying their hand at comedy since they run a “Sea Bond Adhesive” commercial just before BP.
