plus they've repeatedly attempted to shift the entire blame onto BP. as if it doesn't matter that BP were only one of a few companies involved in the oil rig.
Or that while BP has repeatedly bent over backwards to help (going well beyond what is required by law) most of the other companies are refusing to honour any of their obligations whatsoever.
I know I'm not exactly an impartial observer, but there just seems to be a real "lets bash BP" feeling in the american media, mostly because its seen as a foreign company.
