Indi.ca contradicts the idea that the internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Sri Lanka need to be kept in camps for their own good. The blogger opines that: “they are Sri Lankan and they have rights, including the right to movement.”
Dina Mehta at Conversation with Dina posts a picture of an advertisement in Bandra, Mumbai. The ad of Gola (ice slush) is styled as an imitation of the Google Homepage and logo: “the search bar says ‘Golas made from mineral water ice'; the address bar ‘httt://www.gogola.in/'. Even the status bar at the bottom isn’t spared”.

Why are you objecting? I seem to recall that you felt it perfectly normal for media to lay out information as they see fit, and for the people to sift through it and decide what is or is not true. In case you have forgotten, allow me to jog your memory:
“Free media provides YOU the opportunity to here all sides of the argument leaving you as an individual to decide what is right and what is wrong.”
This a quote from a comment you left on my blog last year. Let individuals decide on their own if their reporting is right or wrong. Wasn’t that your stand? Or does that only apply to Media in Pakistan?
