"BP Oil Leak" has been a trending term for awhile because the event's dizzying impact.
Thought it's been an ongoing event, I see a lot of bloggers such as yourselves who tackle the tragedy with a fresh new angle. In their post, the authors refer to mainstream press coverage but then quickly jump into their own analysis.
Such as this: BP Oil Leak Day 37 Dawns: Who Speaks for the Wildlife.
This post came up on as the second link on the Google News results when I typed in that key phrase.
