well written, Santanu. This author seem to be a pawn of profit oriented businessman. this is not journalism, this is exactly what power brokers in politics do. I liked your term "chattering classes", yes we have journalists like who has pwaned their consciouness to make money - they seem to be propagating the idea that they only have brains, and others like environmentalists are nuisancee. They are ready to lend their brains to profiteering
