Hi Ankur,

like i mentioned before i understand the business angle and i believe that sustained viewership for a news channel is bound to come from the educated class and not the strata of society you are mentioning. CNBC TV18 has shown sustained growth in viewership for this reason. A news channel is not an entertainment channel but is supposed to be as useful as a newspaper is to the literate.

As these jokers go about holding microphones and cameras in attempt to get better footage end up defying police rules. Belittling the system and the politicians when the tragedy has struck is no brilliance - complaining and whining has become our national hobby! Concrete research and intelligent reporting like Doordarshan news used to be in the yesteryears is what journalism is all about.


The ATS chief was not involved in an encounter when he was shot. they were shot on the road when they were involved in discussions. The question posed is why is military combat infrastructure so pathetic? Understandably we are not well-prepared to take pre-emptive strikes, the least to be expected is corrective measures.

And as for Rakhi Sawant missing her birthday - that pales in comparison to a studio reporter asking an occupant imprisoned in his own room of the hotel "what are the attacks you know of?" and "Are you afraid for your lives?"

Better still, the terrorists on the phone at India TV told the reporters that they were watching their channel. At the end of which there was a nice live segment analysing speech patterns and calling them liars!! Long Live Truth!!

I say fire these idiots!!
