Am I the only one who doesn’t quite understand this? It seems uncontested that the spill was caused by a commercial entity that everyone agrees is responsible; that the U.S. government has vowed to hold said entity to its promise of paying for the clean-up and for losses incurred by all affected parties; and BP itself has agreed to do same. Now I’m not making any claims as to whether BP will or won’t actually do this (or that its version of reimbursement would be agreeable), but this telethon wasn’t saying “We know BP’s 100% responsible, but we don’t believe it’ll come through so we’re doing this just in case.” It was just your regular old telethon to raise money. So why? Why are we raising money? Why are television watchers being prodded by their favorite celebrities to donate? ]]> http://www.reputationgarage.com/posts-by-author/stephanie-fierman/like-your-mother-always-said-you-teach-people-how-they-can-treat-you/feed/ 0 http://www.reputationgarage.com/trust-reputation/corporate-reputation/greener-barbie-doll-at-cro-conference-by-jarvis-cromwell/ http://www.reputationgarage.com/trust-reputation/corporate-reputation/greener-barbie-doll-at-cro-conference-by-jarvis-cromwell/#comments Sat, 12 May 2007 03:29:00 +0000 jarviscromwell http://www.testingdomain.co.uk/reputationgarage/uncategorized/greener-barbie-doll-at-cro-conference-by-jarvis-cromwell/ http://www.reputationgarage.com/trust-reputation/corporate-reputation/greener-barbie-doll-at-cro-conference-by-jarvis-cromwell/feed/ 0
