Alessandra Stanley of the New York Times, who I had only heard of a few weeks ago when Geraldo Rivera called her "Jayson Blair in a cocktail dress", goes the extra liberal mile to protect White America from thinking that African Americans don't know how to speak proper English.

From "Fairness and Accuracy" at The Pop View.

Now, here’s an interesting thing. Both the New York Times and the Washington Post quote a line from tonight’s premiere of Everybody Hates Chris.

In the Post, Chip Crews quotes it thusly:

That’s 49 cent of spilt milk dripping all over my table. Somebody gonna drink this milk!

Then, the infamously inaccurate Alessandra Stanley quotes it so:

That’s 49 cents of spilled milk dripping off my table. Somebody is going to drink that milk.

I’m going to go out on a limb right now, without having seen the program, and suggest that Stanley has engaged in an attempt to take the ghetto out of the line-reading by Terry Crews. Let’s slip on over to the UPN site and watch the video preview. Yup. That’s what she done.

Chris Rock would be turning over in his grave, but thankfully, he's still alive.
