Just weeks ago, India Today editor Aroon Purie was forced to admit<http://mumbaiboss.com/2010/10/20/forget-it-jake-its-india/>that most of an Editor’s Note was plagiarized<http://mumbaiboss.com/2010/10/14/aroon-purie-likes-slate-a-little-too-much/>. It was another shabby footnote in the steep decline of one of India’s premier media franchises.
But will he apologize for the new low plumbed by his latest Editor’s Note – on Goa <http://indiatoday.intoday.in/site/Story/118233/Editor> – if anything an even more egregious example of irresponsible journalism?
