Teesta Setalvad figths for Godhra victims!

I was surprised to read a news item in today's ToI by Smita Deshmukh that Teesta Setalvad is fighting for Godhra victims! Piqued, I went on to read the whole stuff. Here's it in a capsule:

According to Teesta Setalvad -
* False evidence has been gathered by the prosecution against the accused
* Application of POTA for Godhra is questionable
* There is no evidence of a terrorist conspiracy in the case (isn't it for the courts to decide?)

Good! My worldview isn't flawed. Teesta Setalvad is indeed fighting for the accused ... as expected.

The article does raise one question though :-
What cumpulsions drive sane and sensible journalists to write misleading articles?
Any expert answers?
