That's due to the sheer ignorance and stupidity on the part of those reporting for the media outlets as much as pure malice.

Anyone here recall the commentaries by that fuckwit commentator on NBC during the opening ceremonies where he said that the Silk Road was established during the Tang Dynasty ( actually it was first established back in the Han Dynasty seven centuries earlier) and referred to Tai Chi as a form of "Karate"?

Wanna know something scarier than hell? The retarded asshole who made those dumbfuck comments was touted as being an expert on Chinese history.

Remember that the next time you're tempted to without question swallow the shit being fed to you by the MSM.
