Pundit bhai: I actually know the type of 'journalists' you're talking about! They were frequently bivuaced in roadside cafes in the dusty streets of Calcutta (Kolkata) during Jyoti Basu's earlier years. They would gossip hours on end about Marxist dogma, the supposed relevance of Naxalbari terrorists in modern Bengal, and generally bitch (sincere apologies to my SSC English teacher Mr. Rahman back home) about the state of the world.
Would I be correct in assuming that: it is the sit-on-you-rear-end, do nothing constructive and bring everyone down to join you in wallowing in your misery 'mentality' in general, that you are referring to- and not just simply a generalized manifestation of their collective habits and belief structure?
These 'journalists' are not necessarily from Kolkata, or socialists are they?
