News websites routinely carry articles by outside contributors. Why then did thenewsminute.com disown a long, reasoned piece that it carried on why the anti-lynching protests did not draw popular and media outrage?

It then voiced serious concern about where Indian society was headed. At the end Newsminute put a disclaimer saying "The author is a contributor and the views expressed are personal."
