what the hell!

its today. sunday morning. love the morning rays of sun, newspaper and a hot cup of tea.
grabbed the newspaper(TOI) and the first page looked weird. there were words missing in the headlines. photographs missing. just the borders were marked to signify that some photograph should have been there.
Sammelana chief opposes renaming ______
_____ slams probe report.
CM to declare _____
it was more like filling up the news ourselves, how we like it.
how would this be ? - Sammelana chief opposes renaming his dog.
CM to declare - Am bankrupt.
down the page, it says anything incomplete can be a pain - especially when it comes to oral care. turnover for complete oral care.
and tada - a full page ad for listerene mouthwash!
a national daily and 2 pages of ad on the first page ?!!
where are we heading ???

its always said that there is only so much news that fits into a newspaper. which means that there isn't enough news.
