@#16: So because they're unpaid and "doing their best" they should be above criticism? Nouse, Vision, URY and YSTV are also unpaid and "doing their best", but they have received just as much stick in the past as The Yorker has been getting recently.

I certainly don't think there's been some huge conspiracy at The Yorker to promote Kunwar, but for whatever reason, I do think that that some (certainly not all) of the elections news articles (not blogs) have had a pro-Kunwar slant, and with the obvious link between Kunwar and The Yorker (him being a director, and media being a big one of his policies) that makes it an easy target for criticism.

I still don't understand why Kunwar didn't make the simple decision of standing down from the position for the duration of the election period, it would certainly have avoided a lot of the criticism.
