Globe Ignoring New Zealand Oil Spill

Well, almost....

"Grounded ship’s oil reaches New Zealand" October 11, 2011|Associated Press

WELLINGTON, New Zealand - Forecasts of heavy ocean swells yesterday thwarted crews trying to pull oil from a leaking ship stuck on a reef off New Zealand, as fist-sized clumps of the fuel started turning up on a popular surfers’ beach.

The Rena has been foundering since it ran aground last Wednesday....  

Then why am I reading about this on the following Tuesday? 

Too many terrorists and agenda-pushing regime change stories to run?

Any spill would be small in comparison with such disasters as the 1989 Exxon Valdez spill, which dumped an estimated 262,000 barrels of crude oil in Alaska’s Prince William Sound.  

Or the Gulf of Mexico disaster, right?

--more--"

And then they made the New Zealand slick disappear just like the Gulf's.
