So it seems from what we see here that CBS turns off its video equipment and meekly submits to BP's muscle in the person of our paid public servants. What's with the newshounds of our courageous fifth estate? Catch a case of chickenshit or what?? A picture from NASA showing the spill two days ago:

Seems the most logical thing to do and the fires would self-extinguish. I mean is there a good reason why they're not doing this? Anyone... In what ways might they benefit by not burning it off? Maybe they'll get the contract for cleaning up the mess of the beaches? Just guessing.

I still don't fuckin' understand why they don't try to burn as much as possible off. What, they're afraid of an ocean fire or some shit!
