Last spring and summer you couldn't turn on the TV, pick up a newspaper or read news websites without seeing wall-to-wall coverage of the BP oil spill. The media seemed all agog over nearly every aspect of this horrific story. Then, one day, the well was finally capped and the mainstream media pulled up stakes to move onto the next big story.
Of course, the tragedy didn't end when the oil stopped gushing. In fact, in many ways, the story now is far more compelling than it was then. You'd never know it though unless you follow the few reporters -- like Dahr Jamail -- who have kept on it since Day One.
