In addition to the myriad other macros that arrive pre-installed on journalists' word processors ("but Palestinian sources said", "signaled a new risk of unrest", "cycle of violence", etc), we have to suspect that spelling out "Sarkozy" causes software to insert the phrase "a divisive figure" somewhere in the document.
