My earlier crude review
Times of india is a wh??? among all newspapers. They will write anything if you
pay them the money. Everypage will contain some blonds and above all,
you will find very little news and only opinions. one of the worst newspapers
and blatantly biased like ndtv.
I got a lot of negative feedback regarding my article, but let me tell you,
why I hate the times.
a) No doubt, most media houses need to be biased to a certain extent if they
are to survive, but the fact remains that people read a media to get more
news and less opinion. But this doesnt seem to be true with respect to
the times.
b) Everything right from a simple murder to a political story seems to be exagerated.
c) Blantant appeasement of a particular party, even if they want to they can
atleast put in a polished way.
d) Bangalore times, doesnt contain any information other than some so called
dating stuff, some dumb interviews etc,
e) Long ago, ie 1992 I read fountain Head by Ayn Rand, there was a character
Gail Wyanand, sorry if the characters spelling is not correct, whose only motive of running a press is to manipulate than to inform. Times seems to have got heavily inspired by this guy.
f) Every paper is entitled to have their own opinion, but there is a space to express it , ie Front pages etc will containnews only editorials will contain opinions , for times , it seems that Right from first page till the last page it is only opinions than news. Hence my allergy towards it.
One more character I can think of is the villain
of James Bond movie Tomorrow never dies Times seems to have taken over his role. of providing tomorrows news today.
