Barring a few exceptions journalists are morons who grow up to be self-opinionated morons who thrive on the power that publishing allows them. There is zero accounatbility and even less connection with reality.
I have no axe to grind against "Times of India" but they have been known to write sponsored articles. There were caught in a "sting operation" sometime back taking money for publishing favourable articles. To me this is no different than spam websites which exist on the web (and figure prominently in searches) just to attaract surfers into clicking (mostly) google ads. BTW I have liked content on the BBC, Wired and The Economist. So good journalism is not dead :-) -- Vinayak
