The Whole Truth
The Calumnist deals out the gritty truth about the truths that the media doesn’t tell us.
That’s why papers tend to push away drought and flood and farmer suicide stories to the inside pages, where they are reduced to briefs, space permitting. TV usually doesn’t bother at all - there’s IPL now, and other masala.
So dear reader, when you pay a pittance for your paper, please know that you are pushing news media to economise on the truth. And next time you read a newspaper or watch TV, spare a thought to the news that’s left out. We editors are told it’s because you - customer, buyer - want it so.
