Exxon Threatens to Arrest Reporters for Entering Arkansas Oil Spill Site


It was less than 90 seconds before suddenly the sheriff’s deputies started yelling that all the media people had to leave, that ExxonMobil had decided they don’t want you here, you have to leave. They even referred to it as “Exxon Media”…Some reporters were like, “Who made this decision? Who can we talk to?” The sheriff’s deputies started saying, “You have to leave. You have 10 seconds to leave or you will be arrested.”

BP was doing this too when Deepwater Horizon happened. They had the coast guard keeping reporters away too. There's always an argument that can be made in terms of public safety though an informed individual who is willing to take the risk and respectful of the workers should be given consideration. Reporters have been increasingly kept away (and arrested when not) from military operations, toxic spills, protests, trade association meetings, anything the government does. The publics' right to know seemed sacred until the publics' ability to know became a reality.

At the current price you need to collect a lot of barrels in order to cover your increased health premiums.
