…And here’s hoping the proto-journos at the MediaSci Dept at Anna U will do better than their seniors at Outlook Magazine are doing. Or Indiatimes, for that matter. Which kind of nutcase newspaper (or online portal) sets up a portal specifically for anti-war tripe, with not a pixel devoted to readers who might have rational arguments for the war? (Pro-war comments to this board are edited out.) Balance, obviously, has been thrown to the winds, and Indiatimes has never heard of providing an equal opportunity to all opinions. This one is worth remembering the next time the anyone from the Times Group talks crap about freedom of speech and freedom of the press, for it is obvious that the Times is not above censoring opinion when it suits their own editorial point of view.
PS. Yes, I know Indiatimes is a private entity and can do what it likes on its own webspace, but it is a portal for the public, but seeing that even CNN (the much maligned lap-dog of the American establishment) allows viewers to phone in with anti-war comments, Indiatimes’ editorial policy ré this war has been reminiscent of a Communist Party rag.
