BP Buys Google and Yahoo Search Results to Keep News of Oil Spill from the Public

If you found this story, you may not have gotten here via a search engine.  BP is going red China on us.

In their most tenacious effort to control the ‘spin’ on the worst oil spill disaster in the history, BP has purchased top internet search engine words so they can re-direct people away from real news on the Deepwater Horizon catastrophe.

BP spokesman Toby Odone confirmed to ABC News that the oil giant had in fact bought internet search terms. So now when someone searches the words ‘oil spill’,  on the internet, the top link will re-direct  them to BP’s official company website.

This would not be the first time that BP has tried to control information to protect the company’s public image.

Sure enough. Do a Google search on "oil spill". See what the first entry is. Or just click this link where I've done the search for you.
