This DD News channel is one of the 24 by 7 channel .Interview with Shri H.N. Kaul on 28 Nov 08 is shown in these 2 clips .Two interviewers on DD News were so balanced and asking questions to expert with such a humility and soft tone.This interview if I see today looks like an academic discussion educating public about the situation .Interestingly there is no dramatisation or Loud speak from any of these interviewers .Earlier when there used to be only one channel DD then we used to call it Govt propaganda machinery.But Today after explosion of this new phenomenon of 24 by 7 channels and that also in hundreds we find same DD news channel more balanced in reporting such situations as 26/11.

How media presented the news of 26/11 is a different story.Animation showing explosion is used by channels.This must be an extra effort on part of this channel to show the viewers the seriousness of this attack !!!And to add a bit of salt to this presentation of news running commentary of this great media event (Is that so??) is worth listening.घंटी बजी ,सबूत and आग are 3 keywords of this entire event.Oh! You may be thinking about running commentary of some sports event or reality show but no !! These 3 are the keywords in running commentary of 26/11 shown on our 24 /7 news channels.

Unconfirmed Reports OR BREAKING NEWS???!!!!

The terrorist group named Deccan Mujaheddin claimed responsibility for 26/11. Marathi IBN Lokmat channel carried news story of email sent by Deccan Mujaheddin to Media .Use of term Jihad in this email which is similar to that sent by Indian Mujaheddin while claiming responsibility of earlier blasts.But after 3 days ; not a single channel talked about this email. This entire attack is carried out without any local support .Terrorist directly landed from boat just few hours before and entire blame is directed towards Pakistan.What about Deccan Mujaheddin's email and other stories?Again no clarification from media!! If this news was not confirmed by any authority How could they telecast it earlier?Who has the answer???

These snapshots are showing story of Trainee Terrorist working in Taj for last 10 months.Taj management denied these reports. But question is How this unconfirmed news was telecast ? This clearly indicates how desperate Media was to give some sensational Breaking News which may be totally false or say unconfirmed. Don't they have any moral responsibility and just go on spreading rumours or such unconfirmed stories?

Media targeted entire political leadership fortheir failure .Do they have moral authority to blame anyone for not doing their job when they are themselves doing such acts of gross immorality?And that also at the time of such a warlike situation we were facing that day??
