lathe-of-heaven Lathe Time lathe-of-heaven

US media will switch between Gulf of Mexico and Gulf of America based on the context being reported. Extreme hurricanes devastate coastal cities? Those came from the Gulf of Mexico. New oil drilling platforms extract record amounts of fossil fuels? They're located in the beautiful Gulf of America, baby freedom-and-democracy

Those same platforms cause an environmental disaster? You'd better believe that's happening in the Gulf Of Mexico!
