Planet BP: “All the News That’s Fit to Underestimate by 50,000 Barrels”
As usual, Colbert cuts through BP’s PR/spin brilliantly. It’s true that BP is being transparent about these “BP Reporters,” but they are still, emphatically, doing it wrong, so to speak. It’s like “What Not to Do 101” for PR (or, um, the environment).
At least their stupidity has provided us with this awesome clip.
Spin Fail
“I wouldn’t say it has failed,” says Doug Suttles, BP’s chief operating officer. “What I would say is what we attempted to do last night wasn’t successful.”
Absurd.
