According to this article from someone who actually lives in Japan and is literally their job to blog about what's going on at Fukushima, there is not a nuclear meltdown. There still is radiation coming from the plant, but there is not 85 tons of plutonium burning. Radiation levels are not going drastically up. The smoke is caused by the water coolant leaking and touching the reactor, and it is visible because TEPCO recently removed debris from the top of the reactor.

I'm pretty sure someone that lives in Fukushima and talks to TEPCO knows more about the issue than Turner Radio Network.

...Overall, avoid very biased sources, avoid stuff that hasn't received much attention, and make sure you actually read the article carefully along with the comments to get an idea of its credibility.

Perhaps, but does that mean hes telling us truthful information?
So "checking a source" isnt an exact science, not even close.
But they're still wrong. I'm sure TEPCO is completely confused on what news stations are reporting.
