This newspaper which is of third grade quality and quantity of world’s total ewaste is spreading rumours.
The latest rumour is “bush blames India for food inflation”.
Then they carry another news headline countering the blame with stats like “US consumption of food is 5 times per capita of India”. Then they carry news of Political parties fuming over such comments from Bush.
To complete the rumour and stay away from crisis (clearing the newspaper’s name from this whole rumour piece), they carry another news item which clearly states that Bush statements were actually complemeting Indias growth story and not complaining.
I really feel pity on this newspaper and its shareholders for carrying such lousy stories with rumours, only to increase web impressions and harming India’s relationship with US.
This will also send a wrong message about Indians ability to interpret the political messages from leaders.
There are many takeways from these rumours going around for the last 2-3 days in TimesOfIndia.
1) Political parties like BJP who reacted angrily to comments from BUSH, didn’t read the BUSH statements. If they did read the whole speech from BUSh, then i doubt their ability to run this country.
2) TimesOfIndia needs to show more care in putting out the stories and not actually spread rumours.
3) Readers should be more careful in interpreting these stories.
Nowhere in the speech, President BUSH was complaining and blaming India for food crisis.
His speech was concentrated on both India and China the emerging nations and their citizens rising propserity and their carving for better diet. He said those in a complementing way because Western countries can start exporting food grains to India.
However our TOI as we all know its prowess of lack of English skills or lack of understanding American english misinterpreted or should i say twisted the material facts from the speech.
Shame on you TimesOfIndia. I denounce this newspaper and doubt its ability as a media organization in bringing news to us.
Times Of India has degraded to a pathetic level, stooped too low to create a circus out of a good speech from Bush.
I also denounce BJP and CPI[M] for their reactions unnecessarily harming our relations with US.
Also read, how PTI, NDTV and TimesOfIndia distorted UNCTAD report.
