That BP Was Unprepared For 'Media Scrutiny'   First Posted:

CEO Tony Hayward should really think about heeding the advice of
the Village Voice's Jen Doll, and "really just stop talking."
But talk he has, and so we've all learned a whole bunch of new
things about the guy who's really, really sorry about that whole
catastrophic oil gusher thingy. For instance, we now know that
if he had to do it all over again, he would have totally gone
yachting, and, like all yachtsmen, he only took to the high seas
as a means of tamping down all of the anger he was feeling.  But
I'm more interested in this contention:  Former BP chief
executive Tony Hayward has said that the media response to the
oil spill was a "feeding frenzy".  Speaking for the first time
since his resignation, Mr Hayward said that the company was "not
prepared" to deal with "the intensity of the media scrutiny".
You know, it's true.
