It isn't just rumors anymore. Evidence of a "media blackout" in regards to the BP oil spill in the Gulf keeps piling up in various forms with many members of the press - including ABC - getting harassed by security outfits (presumably employed by BP) who block media access to beaches, workers and other clean-up related events happening along the coast of Louisiana.
