I didn't really call it fake, did I? It's a sensationalist publication that once actually offered and sent prostitutes rigged with hidden cameras to politicians. It's not a traditional publication by any means. In fact, the name itself means 'Sensation'.

There probably is some truth in this story, but take it with a healthy dose of skepticism, because you're not going see objectivity here.

Umm, you wrote "so don't expect any kind of objectivity or even truth from them" (note the last phrase). I think 'kang' was right to challenge you.

Anyway for readers who don't know India: Tehelka is an independent newsmagazine that specializes in investigative journalism. I also hold them in very high regard.

Just my two cents.
