Friends to foes: Amar Singh & Hindustan Times (HT)

How things change! Once Amar Singh was too close to HT establishment and no story against him could go in the paper. Then he fell out with Vir Sanghvi and all of a sudden he became 'P3--socialite--lobbyist--even dalaal and what not!'.
I have no sympathy for Amar Singh but should prestigious newspapers behave in this manner. It is HT and TOI that have promoted this page 3 culture and now Amar Singh is being attacked for the same. What double standards! Amar Singh and Vir wrote open letters to each other Now every other day we find Amar Singh being attacked in the paper. Isn't it shameful that once your relations got sour, you just change sides. So you think the reader is EDIOT! Just the way media organisations are run in this country.
