IMPORTANT! MUST READ! From the Oil Drum! Editors' note for first-time visitors: What follows is a comment from a The Oil Drum reader. To read what The Oil Drum staff members are saying about the Deepwater Horizon Spill, please visit the front page. (Were the US government and BP more forthcoming with information and details, the situation would not be giving rise to so much speculation about what is actually going on in the Gulf. This should be run more like Mission Control at NASA than an exclusive country club function--it is a public matter--transparency, now!) CLICK HERE to read!

Offshore Drilling is Not The Answer: Restore the Moratorium
from Surfrider Foundation (h/t jen)
The tragic and devastating oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is a stark reminder that offshore oil drilling is not the answer.
The Deepwater Horizon rig that exploded and sank has spilled millions of gallons of oil into the ecologically rich waters in the Gulf of Mexico and continues to gush 210,000 gallons of oil into the sea every day. The spill remains unabated and now has the potential to become one of the worst environmental disasters in U.S. history. The unfolding catastrophe clearly illustrates that offshore drilling is not safe and new technology is not fool proof.
Tell the Obama Administration new drilling is NOT THE ANSWER. Our coasts and the economy they support cannot withstand anymore!
We are reminded why the 1969 oil spill in Santa Barbara and the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill led to state and federal moratoriums on offshore oil drilling. The tragedy in the Gulf of Mexico makes it clear that it is time once again time to restore those moratoriums.

• Meet the Facts at NPR "On the Media" - Last December, NYU professor Jay Rosen proposed something simple yet revolutionary: why don't the Sunday morning chat shows fact check their guests?

This Week on Ring of Fire - posted June 18th, 2010
• This week on Ring of Fire Radio, Ed Schultz, the host of MSNBC’s The Ed Show will be here to tell us how he helped America overcome the conventional wisdom that liberal radio wasn’t viable, and became one of the pioneers of liberal media – Which he talks about in his new book “Killer Politics: How Big Money and Bad Politics Are Destroying the Great American Middle Class.”
• Cenk Uygur from the Young Turks will be joining us to talk about the protest he led last week in Washington to convince the Treasury Department to force Goldman Sachs to return billions of dollars worth of bailout money that the company actually claimed they didn’t need.
• Russell Mokhiber from the corporate Crime Reporter will be here to tell us about the possibility of prosecuting Don Blankenship and other executives from Massey Coal for the mine collapse earlier this year that claimed the lives of 29 men.
• Thomas Kennedy Lowenstein, activist and author of the terrific new novel, "The Ghost Detective" (and a New Orleans resident), will join David to talk about the news of the week from the Gulf and Tony Hayward’s shocking lack of memory and accountability.
• And our friend Thom Hartman will step back into the Ring with a completely updated version of his prescient and tremendously important book, “Unequal Protection: How Corporations Became “People” – And How You Can Fight Back.” Buy this book and give it to EVERYONE you know!
• And as part of Ring of Fire Radio’s on-going, exclusive coverage of the worst oil disaster in our nation’s history, Devastation in the Gulf, Daily Beast correspondent Rick Outzen will be here to give us an update on the oil washing ashore all along the Gulf Coast.
• VIDEO! Papantonio: Republicans & Limbaugh Love BP - BP CEO Tony Hayward appeared before Congress today to tell Congressional leaders why his company has failed so badly in the Gulf of Mexico oil spill response, and whether or not BP allowed the accident to occur by cutting corners on safety measures. Mike Papantonio appears on MSNBC’s Hardball with Chris Matthews to give us the truth that Mr. Hayward was incapable of delivering today.
• VIDEO! Papantonio: BP’s $20 Billion Down Payment - President Obama addressed the nation last night to discuss the oil spill and the government’s role in the ongoing issue. Unfortunately, most progressives believe that he failed at taking a stand and showing real leadership on the spill. Mike Papantonio appears on MSNBC’s The Ed Show to tell us what Obama should be doing about the crisis.
• And as always, we’ll be looking at all the news that the corporate-controlled media refuses to cover. And if you want to see the revolving door that has been uncovered between BP and the government, click here!
