TOI Has Just Crossed Another Level of Tharki-ness

JWB Post

April 12, 2016

‘Do anything to grab the eyeballs’ – this is the new mantra of some media houses. Even if that involves damaging someone’s dignity.

Today, our very own Times of India reported how Kate Middleton’s dress flew in the air while she was offering prayers at the India Gate.

We wonder, how can the accidental lifting of the dress and skin-show that happened is a NEWS for them! (Remember the shameful time when TOI created a headline about Deepika Padukone’s cleavage?)

Seriously, is all this worth reporting? And even if it is for you, dear TOI, don’t you think the headline could have been a little polite? ‘Kate’s Marilyn Moment At India Gate’? WTF.

Check out how people all over the country are reacting to the national newspaper’s rather questionable work ethics:

And this is Times of India’s another shameful moment

Give Times of India anything and it will derive voyeuristic pleasure from it 😒

Historians reveal that Islam came out with the concept of Burqa just after Times of India started its publication

Congrats Times of India! From the Grand Dame of Bori Bunder, you’ve become a perv with camera seeking upskirt shots

If it had the opportunity, Times of India wudn’t have hesitated from publishing an upskirt pic of Mother Teresa.

Guy: But you’ll like it more if I tell you about a celeb’s oops moment in a party

HR: Welcome to Times of India
