There’s a silver lining, through the dark [gulf] shining
According to this post by the Wall Street Journal reporter and blogger Benoit Faucon, “the April 20 spill on the Deepwater Horizon is being reinvented in Planet BP as a strike of luck.”
According to Faucon, the article in BP Planet — a BP online, in-house magazine — reports “much of the region’s [nonfishing boat] businesses — particularly the hotels — have been prospering because so many people have come here from BP and other oil emergency response teams.”
Well, that’s one way of looking at it, I guess. So what do you think? A gutsy and uncompromising move by BP’s media office in the face of withering criticism, or a level of spin that would put even a West Texas tornado to shame?
