uh...what earthquake

Here is what Yahoo! News reported tonight as I was browsing their Latin America news:

Strong earthquake rattles Argentina

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina - A strong earthquake sent panicked residents fleeing from their homes Sunday in Argentina, but it caused no injuries or damages, authorities said.

The magnitude 6.1 quake was felt in the provinces of Mendoza, San Juan and La Rioja. Its epicenter was in Pampa de las Salinas, about 745 miles northeast of Buenos Aires and it was the second in less than a week to shake the region.

A magnitude 5.7 quake struck the San Juan province on Tuesday but also caused no injuries or damage.

see for yourself

I didn't feel a thing, all day long. Nor anyone else here in Buenos Aires, but the article leads you to think that tremors were felt in Buenos Aires, which they weren't.

News that gets to us in the states is certainly interesting, and it's good that were informed of the world. However, if the news constantly informs us of quasi-true, misleading world events, is that a good thing? As long as we accept something as news? Gotta sell them newspapers and advertising space.
