Our good old Outlook magazine is at it again. During the days when Vinod Mehta was the editor at Pioneer I used to admire him so much. Never did I think at that time that he will end up in yellow journalism. Exhibit 1 is an article in this week's Outlook
http://outlookindia.com/full.asp?fodname=20050228&fname=Budget+%28F%29&sid=1
Now, when you read this article you realize during the first paragraph itself that it is not an honest appraisal of what is to come in the budget. Rather, it is pretty clear that Outlook is privy to some insider information about the budget and has been asked to create a favorable public opinion by the government. So, Chidambram is a "dream-weaver" who "makes magic". On the other hand - if you were to read any articles on the people who belonged to the BJP government, most of them will have the opposite adjectives (Vinod Mehta routinely describes Vajpayee's son in law as the most rude person etc. etc. that he has ever met - only much later did he disclose that he had this personal vendetta against them because they were investigating an Income Tax fraud case against the magazine).
