Best thing is shut your TV. :-) Without being very critical, I personally feel that the TOI is a 3rd rate newspaper. However, my opinion counts to nothing, more than a million people read it everyday. It is all about meeting consumer needs and unfortunately I and you are not the only consumers in the market :-) cheers 172713@desicritics.org Wed, 2 May 2007 11:12:12 EDT http://desicritics.org/2007/05/02/000610.php#comment-172687 The Fourth Estate bends over backwards to pander to the needs of the rich and famous; and in the process forgets the real reason for its existence — catering to the hoi polloi.
