I quite like that the Times of India calls fake doctors quacks as a matter of course.
Mind you, the doctors named - scare quoted even - have not been to trial. Is it a sign of a young legal system that language is not used more gingerly?

I think the Monty Python treatment is called for.

A fake "doctor" is a real doctor.
A fake "doctor" could be anything really.
Not by my misunderstanding of the Transitive Property it can't.
Y'know, I can't write anything decent in response to that, so, um, look over there!
I think it's at least possible that we've forgotten what independent journalism looks like.
Here, it would be more like: "after sixteen patients died, some people called for an investigation into the licensing of the doctors, who some have called "quacks". Others were quick to point out that many healers were unlicensed throughout history, and it was unfair to consider even the likes of Hippocrates a quack.
A spokesman for the Duck community complained about the use of the term "quack" as a pejorative, saying "you cannot tar the language of an entire species in such a cavalier fashion" and suggesting the possibility of litigation. Shortly afterward,a Goose community organizer speaking on the condition of anonymity was quoted as saying "HEY! Don't even THINK about it, Honkey!". Although no one had contacted them, a spokesman for the American Chiropractors Association called this newspaper's managing editor to remind her that Chiropractors serve an important role in the community and should not be considered as the vocalization of any species of fowl whatsoever."

As landfill?

I can have "Double Blind" joke?
Veiled twin eyeball research reference?
To tell the truth I prefer experiments on identical triplets -- that way you have a spare.
It's worth the extra cage?
The preferred term these days is "student accommodation".
