That's the way Fox operates with their viewers. Plaster the headline out there, then maybe have a little of the truth buried in the story, if you can follow it. All they did was translate the title and got all upset. This should be on every nightly news cast on every other network for a week solid. Disgraceful.

However the WWE is more believable because they don't hide what they do and WWE are in the entertainment business and not pure wrestling.

FNE or Fox News Entertainment would be a better description.

5. The art ot the lie

Fox News has always relied on wrapping their lies with just enough truth so that their viewers will buy the lie.
Of course their viewers are more than anxious to do that because they want the lie to be the truth.
Fox News is their way to "validate" the lies their viewers already hold dear in their hearts.
Believe me, I have several relatives who can't get enough of the Fox Kool-Aid.

you don't expect them to read anything that's not in English, do you?

It actually comes from an island nation in Europe. It didn't come to America until a few hundred years ago, while people have lived here for thousands.

10. And what is a shame is that we are losing Native languages.

Too many young people have not had the ability to learn the languages of their nations. In 50 years some of these precious languages will become dead when there are no native speakers left to give voice to them.

Languages are far more than just a means to verbal communication. Each language contains living history, culture and tradition.

It is tragic when languages pass from knowledge.

So the real racists are the people who want to give brown people a chance to compete for college placement with rich white people who can get into good colleges the old fashioned way--bribing the admissions officials.
