Is Carlotta Gall (NYT) a Bush Whore or just sloppy?
And what about the NYT editors?

http://www.nytimes.com/2004/07/28/international/asia/28CND-AFGH.html

In this story entitled "Doctors Group to Withdraw From Afghanistan," Ms. Gall refers to Médécins Sans Frontières without mentioning that this is the group commonly known in the English-speaking world as "Doctors Without Borders". It should be a no-brainer to translate this for a predominantly English-only speaking audience... Unless you're ignorant of the connection yourself or... you want the public to assume this is just some "French" group that got weak knees.

1. Just following Trent Lott's lead....
If he can tell the folks down in the "Cradle of Racism" that Kerry is a "French-speaking Liberal"...

here we go, "Freedom Fries Part Deux"...

2. it's the editor's fault
ither she didn't catch it or she "decided" to let it go.

NYT are both sloppy and Bush whores. Nuff said.
