Harry Smith on "Rock Center" last night, sounded like a stooge for the oil companies when he explained how fracking works in conjunction with his recent piece on how there are jobs available in North Dakota. He seems to think the only environmental impact in N.D. will be the oil wells dotting the landscape. He also minimized the situation in Pennsylvania, where natural gas is coming out of people's faucets.
