Sour grapes?

 

Why is Outlook magazine’s two-page report on the entry of FDI so one-sided and patently erroneous?  The magazine essentially spoke only to those who had opposed it, floated a rollback theory, and insisted that papers which had criticised the Government on Gujarat were being penalised. It ignored the fact that the pro-FDI Indian Express had done very sustained and courageous reporting on Gujarat.  Does Outlook’s tone have something to do with rival India Today’s  victory in this particular battle?
