You are assuming that the entire journalistic fraternity is clean and non-corrupt. This is a wrong assumption.
While the author is entitled to his judgment and opinion, what is totally mischievous is that these operations from Thelka are being targeted against one party. Further more the timing of the publication makes it suspicious. One cant but suspect the motives of Tehelka and arguing that what has been shown is the truth is not sufficient.
There is just nothing wrong in people questioning the silence of Thelka about the 1984 riots and also the Godhra carnage. If showing the truth is your only intention why not about these two incidents too??
