Exxon Valdez leaked more than 40 million litres of crude oil into Alaska's pristine waterways nineteen years ago. Today, oil is still polluting the shores and bankrupted fishermen are still waiting for the $5 billion payout granted in 1994.
After a series of appeals by the company, $5 billion became $2.5. Now that the case has reached the increasingly pro-business US Supreme Court, fishermen fear they could end up with nothing. While ExxonMobil claims the area has returned to robust health, locals tell of vastly depleted fish stocks, which almost disappeared after the spill. ExxonMobil claims the fish fell victim to a virus, a theory disputed by the fishermen, who are backed by scientific evidence: 'The fish can't disappear like they're telling the public. [Exxon's] explanation just isn't practical,' says an expert. As the legal case drags on, a fifth of the plaintiffs have died and the rest have lost hope. For them, Exxon has already won no matter what. Yet the oil giant keeps repeating that the spill was a tragic accident and that the company has acted responsibly towards the local communities. Fishermen whose livelihoods were wrecked feel cheated: 'Exxon says that everything's coming back and everything's fine-- it's a lie.'

| They focused on a few voices from one community, used strange editing techniques during the Exxon spokesman's interview, did not explore the Herring virus issue, and not once "zoomed out" with a variety of experts' voices. But hey - when you hear those sad tinkly piano tones it makes it easier to blame everything on the big mean corporation of your choice. |

| Didn't some animal rescuer groups rehab two seals at $200,000 each and when they released them an orca came and ate them both?
Btw, as much as I hate oil spills, doesn't oil leak naturally? |
