ABC and Jon Stewart of the Daily Show tear into BP for a ridiculous amount of serious safety violations and for lying<\/em> on TV about them. Watch the video below.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

ABC News nails BP in an interview with CEO Tony Hayward, showing that BP had 760 “egregious and willful” safety violations in the past 3-4 years (prior to the BP oil spill disaster in the Gulf). Furthermore, this was compared to Sunoco having 8, ConocoPhillips having 8, Citgo having 2, and Exxon having 1!<\/p>\n

Tony Hayward’s response: “Much of that record relates to a prior period,.. and, our absolute focus over the last three or four years has been on safe and reliable operations.”<\/p>\n

Jon Stewart nails Hayward for straight-up lying in this statement, since it was exactly that time period the figures were referring to.<\/p>\n

And, of course, it is pretty sad if this is how well BP does while putting an “absolute focus” on safe and reliable operations.<\/p>\n
