At this point, BP’s oil spill PR nightmare can’t even be called ‘damage control.’ In fact, it’s a better idea to call it ‘damage management’ because they are going to be handling it for years. But that makes it a good idea to make appearances on very important news shows to actually answer questions regarding the effect of the calamity.
