Excerpt:

Should the conflicts with law and its violations by the media magnates in their other business activities be treated with kid gloves, just because they control media? Should any Government take action or dare to take action, legitimate of course, if there is a prima facie case of illegality on the part of these media barons in their other businesses?

And should such legitimate actions be dubbed as an assault on the freedom of the press?
