This government just keeps getting better and better. Following its coverage of the Anna Hazare agitation, the ad-sales department of DNA found that the flow of ads to their newspaper had been stopped… to teach them a lesson. DNA’s editor-in-chief Aditya Sinha writes:
As for being critical of the ruling party, isn’t that what being the “watchdog of democracy” is all about? And which self-respecting journalist would support an oligarchic government bogged down by corruption? This does not mean that DNA attacks only for the sake of attack: when the prime minister restarted dialogue with Pakistan, only we ran a page one edit supporting the move.
