Why is the Houthi-caused oil spill not headline news?

Tom KirkmanIndependent Project Manager

Weird how this is not headline news everywhere …

Totally not because the American oil company Exxon can’t be blamed, right?

=============================

“The Exxon Valdez oil spill was one of the worst ecologic disasters and oil spills in modern history.

The tanker spilled 37,000 tonnes tonnes of crude oil off the Alaskan coast.

Today, the Houthis blew up a Greek-flagged oil tanker with 150,000 tonnes of crude oil in the Red Sea.”

    Thanks John A. Foote III. I like to gently provoke some actual thinking in readers, using any means which pops into my head at the moment.

    Sometimes it is simply leveraging absurd surreal images as a visual joke with associated wordplay.

    Or making memes for my own amusement.

    Or sometimes just poking fun at the bizzareness of mainstream media, as in this case.

    But the underlying thrust of the majority of my posts here is to gently nudge a bit of Critical Thinking in readers, using slightly jarring incongruencies in words and images.
