Biswas Baral

@vsirnate @DailyMail Thank you for this post @vsirnate, but let me add that the @kathmandupost is hardly a 'modest newspaper' - it is the largest English daily of Nepal, with decades' standing. @biswasktm

Hi @DailyMail your “journalist” Perkin Amalaraj has taken this story from a report in the Kathmandu Post. The language is slightly different as it’s been re-written as a summary, but the details aren’t. You’ve ripped off the investigative work of a modest newspaper in Nepal and turned it into a real eye-grabbing story for you. You have mentioned the original story in one line and not even linked to the original report. How do you want to fix this?
