Media may not always speak truth

Media are the important means of communicating. But, it is likely they may not always speak the truth. This is what I felt and commented on an article published in the kantipur. My comment was:

It's true that mid and far-western regions have higher incidence of poverty. But, it isn't true that they received least donor support in FY 2010-11. If the report is reviewed, one can see that western region received (32MUSD) that is less than one third of either mid or far-western region.
