2. 800 Gallons per minute of poisonous Fracking fluid spilling on the ground....

Containing chemicals So poisonous, that the gas companies don't even want to tell us what they are.

3. "No radioactivity...

"It looks like spring water"
Well, isn't that special. If you can't SEE the toxins they can't harm you.
I especially like the homeowner who says, "We trust XYZ corporation because they are so nice (and gave us a big fat check).

8. +100

9. total COI - an acronym used in the biomedical research field

Conflict Of Interest in a news station quoting the homeowner who says she trusts the fracking corporation / she leased her land to them. So she offers the canned - all is well/nothing to see here/move along response to the tv "journalist". There's probably even a gag clause - or at least a Only Say NICE Things About Fracking clause in her land lease agreement. The "reporters" at WBRE oughta try harder.

4. If that crap is spilling on the ground...why can't they

get a sample and have it analyzed to finally find out what chemicals it contains?

11. Strikes me that this is exactly what a genuine reporter would have done ...

... rather than printing excuses from someone who has admitted they've taken
money from the frackers ...

5. "The drill is actually stuck down in the ground."

Good lord.

10. But, but.......

Gov. Corporate said everything would would be OK.
Yeah, he said it - on his way to deposit his campaign $$$$$$$ from the drillers!

12. Please cross-post to PA group > Fracking Issues

If you can find the time, would you please cross-post this to the Pennsylvania Group / Fracking Issues. I'm not sure how to do that, but as a Lehigh Valley resident, feel it should be seen there too. Thanks for posting this.
