[Reader-list] journalistic ethics and morals, given go by.?

[Kshmendra Kaul]

Dear Anupam
 
The source for the "sterlisation" remarks was not PTI but an article in "The Daily Telegraph" of UK. PTI's coverage was of that article. 
 
Since then a PTI report now says " UK daily denies Varun favoured forced sterilisation" http://www.ptinews.com/pti%5Cptisite.nsf/0/50DBA30E8FFE98E7652575B20023A878?OpenDocument
 
The amended version of the Daily Telegraph article >>>>>>

dear rajen,

for your kind information it was the prestigious Press Trust of India which
broke the story. i can sense your bias towards media vis-a-vis varun gandhi,
so its very easy for me to gauge how genuine is your protest against news
reporting.

regards anupam..
