LOL!. Nice find.
Slimes of India, Wake up.

This may be just one of such cases. There might be hundreds of stories on ToI which have been lifted from other sources.

Btw, we have to really appreciate their efforts in removing of some text (like, 'told space.com', etc, form the original. :)

As far as lifting the story goes, TOI was on slippery ground. But the article's content doesn't put it in a bad position as such. The very first line says
"A pair of NASA scientists told a group of space officials at a private meeting here recently that they had found strong evidence that life might exist on Mars, hidden away in caves and sustained by pockets of water."
So, is the publishing newspaper at fault here. No, its just quoting a scientific source and that source shld have egg on its face.

At last, there's at least one person who agrees that TOI is a scumbag paper. Add to that, the blog writer being atheist brings out the
closet atheist in me. Good shot across the bows of the paper. Now if
you'd only go back a few years & write about the vilification of the
IT Dept. on the front pages over the Ashok Jain forex scandal, that
would be a bonus.

Always read the Deccan Herald, the Hindu, Penth...(oops sorry wrong 'un)

Type slimes of india into google and the next page asks, "Did you mean Times of India?"

slimes = zzzzzzzzzz always..

SlimesofIndia has for long been one of the blocked sites on my home PC and the work PC.

I wish there was a blog that watched the bad writing and journalism on India's most beloved newspaper. That way, I could just read the bad bits and have a hearty laugh.

Try Mediaah!

I agree with you and TOI has been only an english version of many sensation seeking tamil equivalents.
