My experiment with truth…

This is what I did yesterday.

Left a comment on daijiworld.com condemning terror suspects caught by Bangalore police. (Note - I always use a fake name.) They published it only after promptly editing my original comment!! They had removed ‘Islam’ from ‘radical Islam’. See, the first screenshot - I’ve highlighted it with a red circle.


So, I thought I would leave another comment. So, I did – this time condemning Hindu organization. Again, I used the same type of language. Bingo!! They had no issue publishing ‘Radical Hinduism’! See the second screen.

I did this for two reasons:
- Of course, I had free time on Saturday
- To understand the ‘journalistic’ values practiced by daijiworld editors! :) Now, I have no illusions left.

For those who have been reading daijiworld-like dishonest news portals, this won't be a surprise.
