Artificial. As in the author of the article. Smith has about as much credibility as WND or NEIN.Quote:

It is not unreasonable for there to be occasional smaller quakes in the region that barely register. Then combine that with Smith's tendency to fabricate for effect, and the WCCR's known strong biases and you have the making of a sensational story.
