Further to the article shared in a blog yesterday - on Gujarat being the most business friendly state as per a World Bank study - imagine my surprise when I found that the article was nowhere to be found in the websites of TOI and Indian Express. What should have been front page news has been relegated not just to the second or third pages but right back to the anonymous sections of their websites.
Deccan Herald is even worse. Their headline is about Karnataka being amongst the laggards in terms of business friendliness, with the bit about BJP topping mentioned as a one line side note in small print.
Our so called 'mainstream' newspapers are blatantly displaying how they play to their vested interests and downplay any good news about the BJP government and its work; while at the same time not stopping shy of manipulating facts to show the government in negative light - all pretensions to fair, unbiased and investigative journalism be damned.
No wonder General V.K Singh referred to them as presstitutes, which is an apt description given how these newspapers forsake journalistic ethics and sell their integrity and character for money and shamelessly support the Congress/ pseudo secular agenda.
The credibility of these newspapers was always questionable at best and has in recent times reached a new nadir.
The country and the majority of its peace loving and law abiding citizens might be enjoying acche din but for Indian journalism, it is sad days indeed.
