Although I must say that you have stolen a bit of thunder from my "letter to the media" post coming soon :).<BR/><BR/>My fav. part was when the people at NDTV were accusing Vilasrao Deshmukh of "disaster tourism", a couple hours after Ms. Dutt had done a tour of the burnt hotel and dramatically shown us the cups, plates and curtains!<BR/><BR/>We need Jon. Stewart in India, to show the shallowness of the media.

CNN brought a swat team leader from New Orleans to comment on the commando oeprations. He said that reporters need to be educated on basic swat operations. Just because a greande goes off inside the hotel, does not mean that it is by the terrorists. It may very well be a distractionary measure employed by the commandos. Instead, these guys fall flat on the ground and went tothe extent of connjecturing that the terrorists were throwing greandes at the media ( if only!!)And I really did not need Barkha Dutt, her voice sore from yelling into the microphone for 3 straight days, asking Simi Garewal and Ness Wadia for their opinions on "We the People". It was literally an "assault on the senses", as this writer puts it:<BR/><BR/>http://www.openspace.org.in/node/808<BR/><BR/>And even now, they only keep showing the same news reports over and over again. If there is nothing new to report, please refrain from using the pretext of "for those who just joined us". We joined you three days ago!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6954254.post-33610897196136580252008-11-30T14:03:00.000+01:002008-11-30T14:03:00.000+01:00So true!-SushantSo true!<BR/><BR/>-SushantAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
