Huge bribe case only a 'slur'?

Today's Business Standard"s lead headline is Another corruption slur on UPA.

That, even as one case of graft after another is emerging from the woodwork. It is no more a shock, no more a scandal, and having become quite routine, even the newspaper's headline writer seems to have had his pen dulled.

A slur, among other things, is only a disparaging remark which hurts one's reputation. And what is the UPA's reputation? Breeder of corruption and protector of the tribe of the corrupt.

So, in a lighter vein, to say the UPA is not corrupt would be against its reputation.

If you read the entire story, you would see that it is, aptly, only a "latest controversy". Latest, yes, but only a controversy?

Words say a lot, don't they?
