Quake Hype

I guess the media is trying everything it can to cash in on the latest quakes. Including shit like this.

CNN's Jacqui Jeras says Charleston, South Carolina, lies on a complex fault line and could suffer another major quake.

I wonder how hard it would be to claim that Kentucky got hit by a 6.0 magnitude on twitter and other and for how long someone would believe it from the initial posting.

It means they're getting lazy when they gota go dig up shit we've known for 20 years when they can't go and find new materials to put on the front page.

Some things I've seen on the front page lately:

People may be addicted to fatty foods
Being ill may have an impact on your sex life
Missouri had a 3.0 magnitude quake (they get dozens if not hundreds of 1.0-3.0 quakes daily)
So forth.
