journalists

journalists are an amazing breed
i say that after reading "The Guardian" interview with Arundhati Roy

I couldn't read the whole thing.
The journalist is fighting hard to say certain things, to see things a certain way.....

It's so interesting how the establishment deals with the truth.
Roy says India is a place where investments go, so there's a ban on bad stories.
The journalist finds this unbelievable. And of course, it is his business to know!
(He's a journalist, after all.) (But what is a journalist anyway?????)
(So, it's the level of argument: I say yes, you say no...)
Well, I find it very believable!((-: These sorts of bans are subtle but effective.....and only
an outsider like A. Roy would dare speak of them.....

(I have heard this strategy (deny something as incredible) used before before...)

The article itself is a bit ridiculous, but the truthful person who is Arundhati Roy escapes nevertheless....
