A big lie is always in any editorial piece masquarading as a news article. Lies that expose the editor's agenda. These lies used to be contained in the first two paragraphs of the article but as readers became more sophisticated and better informed about the switch from reporting news to shaping public opinion in all sections of the publication, the lies became buried deeper and deeper in the article. This one is in the seventh paragraph.
