The right wants free speech. The left wants censorship. One side wants a fair fight, the other wants a rigged fight. The left has an ethics problem on this issue.

कम बोल्ने र आँखामा कालो चस्मा लगाई हातमा "लौरो" टेकेर चुनावी प्रचारमा सँलग्न हुने बालेनले आम मतदातामै कौतुहलता उत्पन्न गराउन कुनै कसर बाँकी राखेका छैनन् । उनको प्रचारशैली नै रणनीतिक (strategic) छ । संभवतः अबका केही दिनमा महानगरका टोल टोलमा चुनाव प्रचारका लागि यीनको पक्षमा भोट माग्दै 'फ्ल्यास मभ' (flash mob) भएछन् भने त्यसमा आश्चर्य नमाने हुन्छ ।

The media company is just attacking their competition 🤷🏽‍♂️
