Once again rediff has shown itself to attact readers to a piece of news by taking an innocuous phrase uttered by the interviee and making it sound like that was the main gist of the interview.
I came to this page expecting from the headline that Chandu Border was talking about the bad of Dravid, but it seems that the controversy-hungry Rediff editors take out a negative phrase and headline it making it sound Borde was speaking ill of Dravid. I've been seeing this tactic for quite sometime and I really wonder if Rediff will ever change, I mean the headline DOES NOT IN ANY WAY REFLECT WHAT THE INTERVIEW IS ABOUT. It's just a means to get more clicks.

Bumping my msg again.. REDIFF NEWS is all about worthless sensationalism. It's an insult to your readers. Just goes to show how little you consider them.
