Quel Dommage! The Times Publishes Fake Letter from Paris Mayor

Maybe the New York Times needs a lesson in French? Turns out the letter that was published by the paper earlier today, ostensibly sent in by the mayor of Paris, which criticized Caroline Kennedy’s bid for the New York Senate, was a fake! The Times posted a correction later today notifying readers of the letter’s inauthenticity, saying that shouldn’t have been published.

This letter, like most Letters to the Editor these days, arrived by email. It is Times procedure to verify the authenticity of every letter.
