[Reader-list] Quality of TOI reports?

[A. Mani]

A recent report in TOI on income of CPI(M) says a lot.

See: http://cpim.org/content/party-income
http://www.cpim.org/documents/20120811_party%20income.pdf

"Out of the total income of Rs. 417,26,36,817 of the Party for a period of
seven years, donations above Rs. 20,000 from all sources, including
individuals, companies, societies etc is only Rs. 3,35,96,941. All donations
from companies and societies is Rs. 1,45,31,914 and its percentage to the
total income is only 0.35. This is what The Times of India report
maliciously states as “CPI(M) coffers bulge with capitalist cash”.

The CPI(M) does not accept donations from corporates. However, there
have been contributions from some companies in Andhra Pradesh. These
donations, when it came to the notice of the Polit Bureau last year, was
discussed and it was decided not to accept donations from companies,
however small."
