Thanks NepaliCNN for initiating this thread. As far as I know, no one is completely neutral, especially the one who cares his or her country. One can claim that he or she does not like 'politics' but this is completely false if he or she loves his or her country. Without politics, nothing can be imagined for a development of the country and social life. For those who claims to hate politics, it is better not to call them 'citizen' of a country. Politics can not be wrong but the players of the politics. As far as Jurnos, they also have thier own interests and preferences. Their preferences can easily be seen in their publications. However, if he or she provides the chances to all sectors of writers and news, we can group them as neutral. But, if they just focus on a particular group or vested interests of their donor (examples: Nepaljapan.com, Nispakchhe and Jahadharana (100% favor for palace), Janadesh (100% for Maoists), Distri and Budhabar (100% for UML), Deshantar and Bimarsa (100% for NC-Girija), Punarjagaran (100% for NC-Deuwa) and so on. However, Kantipur, Samacharpatra, Nepalipost.com etc. are considered to be neutral (Before Royal take over on 1st Feb, 2005) because we can see the news and analysis from different sectors. However, it is not difficult to see Kantipur inclined to Congress, Samacharpatra to UML and Nepalipost.com to Leftists. I am reading Nepalipost.com and I can see news analysis from many sectors. Examples are 1. Analysis by Dr. Baburam Bhattarai (Maoists) and other journalists from Janadesh 2. Analysis by Krisna Pahadi (Human rights.. do not blame Pahadi as maoist: remind that his wealth was captured by maoists last year) 3. Marichman Shing's interview (It is fair to group under Palace) 4. Pradip Nepal's Interview (UML) and other UML supported analysis 5. I found some congress lining journalists are also writing there... and so on. For complete prof, I request NepaliCNN to write an analysis and send for publication to Nepalipost.com. I think they will publish your article. But I have very bitter experience with Nepaljapan.com because they not only reject article which are not in thier group but also dangerously twist the writings in favor of Palace and highlight the sentenses. Later I heard that Nepaljapan.com is operated by the 'Chamcha' of palace under palace's complete financial support and I stopped sending the articles to them. Please share your experience if you have... ------------------------ Futurenepal
