I see the American mainstream media does not corner the market on left-leaning news "journalists". Too bad the respondents on either side of the Pond don't have the guts to say what they really think instead of what they believe people want to hear.
But - it is a comfort to know that even the French have a tough time with thier own language... I won't feel so bad now when I get those "dirty looks" for my attempts (the last time I was in Paris, no one would speak to me in either English or French... I finally resorted to German and got a response at last - albeit an impolite one!)
