Provided they were told by bp representatives they would be terminated from employment if they worth and had to get rid of them. >> and our next guest sparred with bp's on-site supervisor on grand isle, louisiana over access to parts of the beach cleanup workers. >> every security guard here has been given instructions to every single news crew you can be outside of a hundred yards of the workers along the boom. >> who is saying that? because nobody can tell me unless you're the jefferson parish sheriff's office, you're the coast guard, or you're the military, can you tell me where to go on th...

So bp has what's known in the trade as a pr debacle on its hands. as in, they are responsible for pretty much destroying the gulf of mexico in reckless pursuit of some of the greatest profit margins in the history of the world. we have a flower for our logo. does that help you not hate us? in the 59 days since their private spigot of money became the american public's toxic underwater volcano, bp has done two things to manage press coverage. the first was to try to keep the news media from covering the scene on the shoreline and interviewing cleanup workers. bp did this in part by hiring pri...
