And in most cases, blogging has been considered expression of personal opinion and most such cases have failed. However blogging hasn't till now received the safe safeguards as journalism. It is I believe a matter of time before this happens.<BR/><BR/>You should bring this particular issue up with EFF.

I never see important international events being shown. Well thats the way media operates in most countries and India is not an exception. And was there an uprising after the Mumbai incident?

I'm sick of debates where the journalists are more interested in putting their words into the mounts of the innocuous discussion participants, or a verbal squabble shown live on TV goes on and on without any commercial break, Abhihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06441952034566878285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23425148.post-88239698140792624832009-02-02T17:56:00.000+05:302009-02-02T17:56:00.000+05:30Mathew: Thank you! :)I am equally shocked at the s...Mathew: Thank you! :)I am equally shocked at the silence of other media houses. But I guess they don't want to take on each other perhaps. But I am hoping the print media will report this. Anyway the lady has put herself on a very sticky wicket now. Hope this teaches her a lesson.<BR/><BR/>Thomman: You are right. Watching news channels just fries your brains!
