Here’s an example of the new media environment in the digital age – and unfortunately, it appears as cacophony rather that clarity. British Petroleum may be every bit as duplicitous as claimed in this Media Matters for America post on the 5^th anniversary of the Gulf Coast oil spill, or it may not. It’s hard to know, because you don’t know who’s behind this site.

On a piece like this, we’re lacking a known, trusted journalistic source and that means that keeping reliably informed is, and likely will be, getting harder.
