One Side of the Story

Your profession colors your thoughts, your perspectives - because in different professions, you face different kinds of issues, interact with different kinds of people.

As I was reading yesterday's (30 May, 2006) newspapers, I felt that your thoughts and perspectives are colored even by the newspaper you read. If you read TOI, you are likely to become an anti-reservationist, and if you read Hindu, you would perhaps become a pro-reservationist. The extent of selective (and thereby biased) reporting these newspapers do is atrocious. However aware and alert you are as a reader, it would be really difficult to recognize the biases of the newspaper in all cases, and consequently to escape being influenced by them.
