      You could have just chosen not to comment on that instead of spreading the notion of the other name.

          Doesn’t mean you need to taint their articles with this notion. Their talking points and story deserves our attention. Not them doing something else in the past. They are trying to spread news.

          Even then, when horrible things happen to it, they can call it by the name they want to make it embarassing

    Remember that oil spill back in the 00s? The one that made the Gulf Coast littered with oil balls in the sand forever. This is horrible

      This is, allegedly, a mostly natural oil spill, ie. Sea floor leaky.

    when the spill needs cleanup, it’s the Gulf of Mexico, when oil $$$ need to be made, it’s the Gulf of America.

      <…> originated from a vessel yet to be identified and two “natural seepages,” Mexican authorities announced Thursday.

      Not public.

      Probably a mostly natural issue. Sometimes oil wells up naturally.
