What is more puzzling is your taking the time to copy and paste information from another website without first reading the posted article, or noting the linked source of the news article.
It sounds as if you might be projecting your anger, energy and time onto the wrong person. Ernest posted a story carried by the Associated Press which was published by The Las Vegas Sun.
Here is information found on Las Vegas Sun's website where you can write a letter to their editor regarding their publishing a story which you consider as "trivial and inconsequential."

ANKARA : At least 16 people were hurt and dozens of buildings were damaged in eastern Turkey when an earthquake measuring 5.7 on the Richter scale shook the region, officials said.
The epicenter of the tremor, which struck at 9:36 am (0736 GMT), was at the town of Karliova in Bingol province, according to the Istanbul-based Kandilli observatory.
Fifteen people were hospitalized in Karliova with minor injuries and another person was hurt in the neighboring province of Erzurum, where the tremor was also felt, local officials told Anatolia news agency.
About 130 buildings were damaged in the region.
Barns collapsed and animals perished in six villages, Bingol Governor Vehbi Avuc said, adding that heavy snowfall in the past two days was causing difficulties in communication with remote villages in the mountainous region.
The tremor caused panic in Karliova, sending residents into snow-covered streets, television footage showed.
Quakes of such a magnitude have claimed lives in Turkey.
A quake measuring 6.4 on the Richter scale killed 176 people in Bingol province in May 2003, almost half of them children sleeping in a boarding school.
In Erzurum, an avalanche triggered by Saturday's tremor blocked for several hours the main road linking the same-name provincial capital and the town of Cat, Anatolia reported.
The quake was also felt in the neighboring provinces of Diyarbakir, Mus and Tunceli.
The authorities dispatched search-and-rescue teams to the region, while the Turkish Red Crescent sent tents and other humanitarian supplies.
Earthquakes are frequent in Turkey, which is crossed by several seismological faultlines. Some 20,000 people perished in two massive tremors in August and November 1999.

LOL, the only anger I read in this entire thread came from your own post!
(But it reminds me of the old saying: "When the flak gets heavy, it means you are over the target"!)
