Victimised by the victim?

IN Media Watch Briefs | 14/10/2017
Outlook carried this story on the journalist Shweta Kothari who resigned from Republic TV, based on a statement she had put out on Twitter. She said she had been accused of being a mole for Shashi Tharoor and talked about the "constant humiliation" meted out to her while working at the channel. Her complaint received this damning response from an activist in the struggle against the Koodankulam nuclear power plant who says she interviewed him at his home under false pretences and conducted a sting operation on him to produce a story on how the protesters were stooges of the Catholic Church, greedy for  foreign money.
