Polar Bears Would Fall Off New Oil Platforms and Die

Sometimes the bias isn’t so subtle.  This is from the BBC’s website.

It’s a story about offshore oil drilling and U.S. energy policy.  Why put a picture of a polar bear next to it?  Of course it’s because in the mind of whoever chose the picture, more drilling equals more global warming equals dead polar bears.  Good thing the liberals commenting on this blog insist that more drilling won’t do anything, so I guess the polar bears would be OK. 

UPDATE: The BBC updated the page with a more appropriate picture.
