Quote of the Day

"And why isn't there a backup drilling rig stationed in the Gulf, ready for immediate deployment? I know the answers. The drilling industry considered the blowout risk so low that it did not justify the cost of adequate preparation. And I fell for it, based on the industry's record. I didn't do my due diligence and ask, What if?"

Mike Thomas, columnist of the Orlando Sentinel

Thomas offers up his latest column as an apology for his pro-offshore drilling stance. What I find interesting is Thomas admitting he failed to do his job as a journalist and fact-check. Someone explain to me where is this imaginary liberal media conservatives keep talking about.
