Not just Barton: Ordinary right-winger defends BP CEO against "liberal" CNN

Yesterday, BP CEO Tony Hayward got a good grilling on Capitol Hill about the oil spill.

I walked past a television set that was tuned to CNN's coverage of the proceedings. A right-wing acquaintance stood by the TV and remarked in outrage:
"Look at that! They've got split screens, showing the oil spill on one side and the BP guy on the other side! The goddamned left-wing media wants to make him look as bad as possible, the poor guy!"
I just shook my head, and not because I felt bad for the "poor BP guy".
