I disagree, you only have to take a look at the BP website, I bet very little of what it says here is getting a mention in the US media, it doesn't suit the 'devil' image. Gulf of Mexico response | Oil spill | BP
I don't think they are evil at all. I think they are dealing with a very tough problem and have gotten some pretty shitty treatment by the American press, particularly CNN. However, I think Tony Hayward made some verbal blunders that brought on a shit storm and he should have known better, as CEO, that he would be judged severely. I don't think any company, regardless of nationality, would have done any better coping with the physical problems - public relations, not so sure.
