An issue of trust

Is the internet the cause for it or just good old moral degradation?

Which news source do you trust? I still remember the days when you pretty much believed what was shown on tv and what you read in your favourite newspaper. Nowadays the newspaper with so much conflicting news and blatantly biased opinions, that even a pinch of salt is too much to be wasted on them.

The worst culprits are the esteemed www.timesofindia.com. I think they have a team of cricket journalists who take turns to write (if it can be called that) on the pressing issues pertaining to the sport. One day its "Sachin is a dead force" , the second day "Sachin - the demi god". One day they advocate inducting youngsters , then there is another article while trying to prove something else plugs for experience. Then there is www.cricketnext.com . This is a blatantly biased site which supports Ganguly to the point that you would believe India was the numero uno when Ganguly was in the team.

I have given examples of cricket based sites only but that is pretty much a reflection of the general attitude floating around. Words are cheap, my boss used to say and that's what these guys are proving.
