Mike Slater you are no better than any pathetic MSM "journalist" for lack of a better word who simply says what his master tells him to without integrity or conscience true or not for a paycheck... How much was your soul worth Mike???

[J.Sanity]

Not even close to what EXACTLY fracking is... more like the old glossover leaving out the important details. And its in like 40 states as well... He is so underplaying the dangers and truth with a lame ballpark animated lie!!
