Here's a headline that is false on its face

ya gotta get a little perspective here... what if the headline read "hearings on 'catholics' in america will be fair," or "hearings on 'japanese' in america will be fair," or "hearings on 'italians' in america will be fair" or "hearings on 'jews' in america will be fair"... don't you think that might rub a few people the wrong way...?

having a "hearing" on any minority group and characterizing it as "fair" is almost a contradiction in terms...
