I do not understand how a biased journalist/editor can be a great one.Week after week Vinod Mehta proves his loyalty to Congress despite all its shortcomings and failures.

This sorry piece of work has served the Gandhi family for more than a decade and has little to show for it; even lowly journalists have managed to get Padma awards. You should watch the way he squirms and fumbles when challenged on TV (most channels profess the views of his political party so that is a rare event). His claim to fame : on being pilloried by readers of his magazine through letters and comments for being a mouthpiece of Congress, he decided to give evidence of fair news reporting by citing an article that had a few negative comments about the Congress government in Tripura(yes)!

For a magazine like “Outlook” and an editor like Mr Mehta, “balance” should surely be a crucial metric.On this metric, Mr Mehta has been doing rather badly – particularly post May 16. See my more pointed response:

The sudden fall in the Left’s tally seems to have caught him off guard. The fact that he cannot bring himself to objectively examine reasons for their fall – as he gleefully does for the BJP – is sad and unbecoming. In fact, h esomehow wants to credit them for “saving” India from the economic crisis!

It is astonishing when people say Vinod Mehta is one of India`s greatest journalist.Without doubt he is one of India`s most biased. I dont know if any of you here have read his article “EYES EARS AND MINDS CLOSED”. That was one of the most outrageous articles that could ever be written by a free thinking journalist.I dont understand how he got the guts to call the Indian
Middle class self centered.I think he has forgotten that in a few decades the Indian middle class will dominate Indian politics, will contribute to a majority of our Income tax revenue and will contribute to the whole country`s prosperity as a whole.

Please read that article first and then give your comments….

One of the greatest editors Indian has ever seen. A great quality I have seen in him is his receptive nature in accommodating criticisms of all hues including personal, which you can’t find in any other Indian publications.

I have followed Mr Mehta in the course of his journey from one magazine or newspaper to another because he has his own way of bringing interest and freshness to his magazine. Though he is a very good writer, he is much better editor, perhaps the best in the field. But for such an outstanding editor, his political perceptions surprisingly border on naivette and I have hardly ever found myself in agreement with him.

He is one of the very best of journalists that one can get in India. Has done an yeoman service to both the journalists and the readers alike. He’s the super hero amongst the lot.

That’s a load of rubbish from a man who peddles Congress more subtly than Chandan Mitra peddles the BJP.
