It seems the Press has never forgotten what the Party did to them during the Emergency; so they are ever ready to toe its line. Then there is big ticket Advertisement revenue: if you work for govt, you will get payoffs in terms of big and small govt ads. Times of India’s crooked plan to tarnish Modi’s image was revealed this time.

A very good article shared by BJP reveals Times of India’s Shameful act:
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)
A news daily has issued a clarification relating to a front page news report which appeared on 23 June 2013. “Modi in Rambo Act saves 15000” was given pride of place just below the masthead considering that the copy related to a Chief Minister who is the toast of the nation and from whom every day, ‘the nation wants to know’.

Now immediately after this Rambo distortion, Times of India is busy in misquoting and manipulating Narendra Modi’s interview; calling it “his puppy remark”. But after this event, it seems Times of India better be careful about its own “PuppyGiri”:)
