Tour of Thailand Ruined by Oil Spill

I'm sure that is the only reason I was given this photograph in the printed Boston Globe:

"THAILAND'S COAST FOULED BY CRUDE -- Thai soldiers in white biohazard suits took part Monday in a cleanup of crude oil that leaked from a pipeline in the Gulf of Thailand during the weekend onto Ao Prao Beach on Koh Samet. The oil reached a Thai tourist resort, according to the pipeline operator, PTT Global Chemical Pcl. Around 13,200 gallons of crude oil poured into the sea on Saturday, around 12 miles off the coast of Rayong, southeast of Thailand's capital, Bangkok (Boston Globe July 30 2013)." 

Considering the cover-ups and lack of coverage of so many oil spills one can only conclude that is one of the mouthpiece media's main clients.
