Will the real slim shady please stand up.....

The lyrics of the infamous song are a must for electronic medipersons in the country. They have all laid claim to the arrest of CWG badboy Suresh Kalmadi. The games, which have been labelled as Bhrashtmandal Games, have left just one person standing apart. No need to guess.
And every media organisation in the country is laying claim to his scalp. As if he would not have been caught if it weren't for their investigative skills. It seems that Superman lookalike and his brethren and sisters in the newsroom will now cry hoarse till the dawn of next day. Lets see how successful their investigations prove to be as far as securing a conviction against these leaders in concerned.

Only Times Now could do this

The Indian channel which seems to have the highest impact on this nation has done it again. Times Now, the channel which has the presence of a Clark Kent pretend journalist, has been airing the black and white photograph of Abdul Rauf, the alleged mastermind of IC-814 hijack, for the past couple of hours.
The channel claims that it is an exclusive, the first for an Indian channel and the works.....
However, it is also running a disclaimer with an asterix at the bottom of the screen. The disclaimer says that the channel does not vouch for the authenticity of the picture. While the photo and the exclusive sign are covering almost the entire TV screen the disclaimer is in small font on a black strip at the bottom... barely visible.
Then why the hell are they running the photograph? Do they think that the viewer is a moron or worse? Maybe Arnab Goswami could explain.........

Anna Hazare campaign

Anna Hazare campaign may soon be forgotten. With the IPL gathering steam the media and people in the country aren't likely to remember what has happened over the past few days. The media circus will forget the claims of revolution that were beamed by it to the houses of this country 24X7 for several days.
With Tendulkar, Dhoni and Sehwag vying for space this will be another forgotten revolution. Long live the revolution and the short term memory of our nation.

Barkha Dutt hooted out

It is understood that most pious of journalist's Barkha Dutt was hooted out when she tried to cover the recent Anna Hazare episode LIVE. Several students and youngsters asked her and the team from her esteemed channel to leave as they claimed that she was also a part of the system against which they were fighting.
Miss Dutt seems to have taken the point and left for the security of NDTV studio from where she continued to reign terror on us LIVE on this issue as well.
See the link below to check out the facts. The person is fearful of being victimised.... like a fellow blogger was a few years ago. Taking a panga with the queen of news is never easy.

Amul Baby

Kerala Chief Minister V S Achuthanandan has termed Rahul Gandhi an Amul Baby. I don't know what the cause for this nickname was....maybe as the kid promoting the butter with same name never grows old was the cause.
Whatever was the cause the veteran Communist leader has again shown why the middle aged young yuvaraaj of Congress isn't blessed with a political brain. The yuvaraj may take as many digs at the age of Kerala Chief Minister but he conveniently forgets the fact that his ally in the neighbouring state, which is also going to polls, is no better in the age department. Kalaingar, as he is affectionately know, should also be shown the same respect by the Congress Baba log.

PS- The Congress may employ as many tutors for its middle aged youth icon it will never be able to grow a political brain on him.

The Anna Hazare Show

The author has expressed some views that are really readable and worth pondering over. The critics of the author have heaped shit on him in the reactions to the article. However, I think that this is an interesting read. A perspective which needed to be explored.
This new editor and his magazine are doing what the journalists of this country have forgotten to do. To raise questions to everything and not just what the government wants them to ask. Keep up the good work.

Fake World Cup

This can only happen in India.
The ICC, the body which CONTROLS, cricket in the world has faked it. The Indian team, which won the cup on Saturday, has been reportedly given a fake cup and not the real deal. The report was broken by a tabloid in New Delhi.
Was Sharad Pawar behind it? One will never know.... But the modus operandi of his genius is all over.
How can a country be duped to such an extent. Is this a joke or what. The way Indian cricket fans are being taken for a ride needs to be stopped. They have been lathi-charged, not given the tickets they were due during the world cup, the media was kept on tenterhooks and now this.
It seems that the ICC and BCCI are taking the Indian cricket fan for granted. Time we united and taught these bodies a lesson by seeking a complete clarification and a head of someone to hang over the fireplace.
