RESPONSE: I see nothing wrong in the Newspapers espousing the virtues of any particular candidate. Perhaps, they have had enough of C.M. Parrikar. Here in the U.K. we have our Newspapers supporting either the Labour Party (Mirror, Guardian and sometimes Sun) or the Conservatives (Mail, Telegraph and sometimes the Sun). All is fair in love and war.
