We have often heard, even in TV channel debates, that the media is not always true; that the journalists dont always break the story with the intentions of letting the people know the "truth". Barkhagate controversy is the real living example of this! Its a sheer coverup done by the media (not just NDTV but almost all the media houses - afterall you see the same advertisements on all the news channels!)
The only medium you probably ever heard of barkhagate is through the internet. But alas, we live in such a world (at least in this part of the world) where internet doesnt probably mean anything. We cannot get the kind of 'critical mass' that can scare the politicians or people with power (and who think they can do whatever they want) just over the internet.
Its probably time that India had a 'news channel' totally over the web - news created by and presented by the people themselves!
Just a thought at 3am in the morning. More on this when I wake up. gud nite!
