cHindu demeans Anna Hazare.. kind of

Rather than detail a serious editorial, cHindu outsources the analysis to R.K.Raghavan ex CBI head-honcho to detail the view of the newspaper. It is a decent viewpoint from an outsider but still does not detail what the newspaper who is stuck in the paid news scandal to express its opinions on the issue.
Despite glib words of praise for the principle that motivates Anna, there is unmistakable chagrin among those in the corridors of power — whom he is challenging. They claim that they alone are vested with the authority to decide what kind of legislation should be drafted to tackle corruption in high places, and not the likes of Anna Hazare. They look upon him as an usurper who has to be put in his place somehow.

At least this issue sweeps the chinduleaks under the rug for the time being.

Today's Kerala edition of chindu carries an ad by BJP seeking votes. Advertisers never give ads to newspapers hostile to them. It is a basic principle of advertising. Then why BJP gives ad to this jehadi-sucker newspaper which has only hate and scorn for BJP. It seems the block-heads in BJP never learn lessons!

What happened to chikileaks? The chindu is silent on it for the last one week.

@Anon, that party is run by those with learning disabilities. They did the same during India Shining campaign, showering the hostile English media with ad revenues.

Anon,
In life and politics there are never permanent enemies. Its just reaching out to the folks who support you. BJP has a core audience who reads cHindu. So they advertise to capture that audience.

Anon #2,
With Lok Pal, no one cares about cHinduLeaks and related BS. Unless assange can provide something important, it has sounded the end for now.

How can one be on hunger strike for more than 10 years?
