The media has lots of "fans" at da Drum. I'm as down on all MSNBC as these folks are about AC.

I've been watching Anderson Cooper on CNN for the past hour as he watches the video of the ROV manipulator holding the handle of a relief valve at the top LMRP and he mistakenly identifies the valve as the actual cap and wonders why they haven't connected the wire to take the oil to the surface.
And now he has Prof Wereley from Purdue on the phone, Mr. 92,000 bpd (+/- 20%), who is saying that HIS group in the task force hasn't made their report yet but "I can't say what it is, but its much higher".
The US news media has turned into tabloid journalism.

Anderson Cooper is also begging for anyone with information to contact CNN.
Anybody here want to get on the air? LOL!

I think it would be a good public service for one of the people here to send an email to Anderson Cooper so he could explain to the millions of CNN viewers that the oil is coming from an open valve per his video feed- if that is the case.

Actually I tried the other day on something else equally stupid but can not find an email address that seems to go through to anyone.

Undoubtedly they monitor comments on their blog, though I don't know if that is an effective (or even viable) way of getting something to Cooper.

I too have been watching Anderson Cooper. One of you smart guys/girls should call in and tell him what is going on so that he can report accurately.
