[...] Abusing The Hindu in The New Indian Express is one thing. Expressing pro-Tibet opinions on a Hindu owned media outlet is one of the greatest hacks I’ve ever pulled. Now, as with the Landmark Quiz, it’s time to raise the game – the new goals are to win the national Landmark, and to somehow write an anti-China or anti-CPM oped in The Hindu itself. [...]

It seems these days it is no more uncommon for one publication carrying articles criticizing the other. Good for the consumers. Sometime back ToI too carried a funny article like this.

Now that Mr. Bindra has beaten the 2004 gold medallist shooter to the Gold this time, who, fortunately or otherwise, happens to be Chinese, one wonders what will Hindu say to this? Maybe, it is just a fluke. After all, Mr. Bindra does not shoot 10.8 on a regular basis. Maybe it is karma, brought about by buddha-knows-doing-what-not Tibetan monks, who are being reformed by Chinese police in Chinese prsions. Or was it the defective headphones used by the Chinese shooter, that could not keep out the noise made by the Indian contingent. After all, cheap electronics from China is revolutionising the world, including the Chinese shooting squad. Or, is it, simply, the time-tested conspiracy of the West to promote India as a counter-weight to China, in process, blocking out genuine Chinese talent?

err.. so what exactly is Hindu’s fault? That they have a view and consistently and openly write about it? When did newspapers editorial become a election contest where the public and readers are supposed to dictate the content. I suppose that’s the new spirit in the web world, called stupidity of the crowds.

God forbid that they have a writing style which is bit uinque, better dumb it down to aam adami style mediocrity of blogs and Times of India.

I still read The Hindu, I don’t agree with every opinion of theirs (including Tibet), but that doesn’t make them mouthpiece of China.

I supposed words like journalistic integrity, nuances are not familiar to the author of this blog.

For all its faults, the alternatives make us puke – Times of India, anyone? yeah, right – probably the only thing they have going for them is that they ‘aren’t China’s official mouthpiece in india’. If you learnt to filter out the China propoganda, Hindu is probably still India’s best newspaper. Is it a fault to maintain high-standard prose(to be fair, they are slipping too but not the Toilet Paper levels)?

I actually am a loyal reader of Hindu and I think I would be for a long time as this is the only mainstream newspaper in Hyderabad which actually writes something relevant. However I and some of our friends have noticed this trend of Hindu pro actively supporting China. Many articles over the past in editorial have been praising Hindu, which I find hard to believe. They are known to take different and complete picture of each topic, but with China they seem to be unilateral. I hope this article changes somethings at Hindu
