Do you not remember the whole "freedom fries" movement?

I remember the meme. My question is, who exactly is culpable of what here? It was promoted by some Republican representative: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/2842493.stm

Should the media have .. simply chosen not to report it? ""Censor"" mentions of "freedom fries"?

Is the BBC article itself "denouncing and shaming"? Or just the Republican it's quoting?
