Maybe he's trying to say that there was a big earthquake in Japan. *Shrug*

Well, as I would expect, the more "localized" news source to the disaster is reporting news that is of a more immediate, and useful to those caught in the tide, information.

The other is more relating the global implications of it all.


Just how it seems to me. It'd be what I would expect from my own "local" news services

there's this - "High radiation level detected 30km from nuke plant"

Just don't watch the news, simple as that.
You know it is all propaganda for one reason or the other.
We will know the truth when we hear about Japanese folk all being dead or about Obama's family vacation to Japan.
Then we will know if all went to hades or if something good happened.

was there another explosion today?
