    That's not news. We know it already. The Fox audience is too dumb to remember anything. This is why they have to keep drilling the party line into their heads.

    Bzzt! Guess we've got another Natural Language claim:
    1) That has no examples in it;
    2) Has no online link to a functional site (a la Babelfish);
    3) Will replace some human's job...
    Thus, it doesn't exist...
    Nice try, keep movin'
