“Bearing false witness is not just one of the Ten Commandments. The Bible has numerously repeated warnings against slander, false testimony and just plain old lying. Interestingly, it has been a socially acceptable form of oppressing minorities and the poor for centuries: slander, sensationalism, hearsay, innuendo, half-truths, insinuations, rumors, myth, and outright lies. We should learn these words, and call it what it really is . . .”
Mike E. Knezevich, Jr.
