I can not understand why the Indian media is going mad over coverage of the New of The World scandal. It is not as if that they haven't seen it before and haven't DONE it before.
The holier than thou attitude of the Indian media is shameful. Why are they doing a live coverage of the event.... because it is related to Rupert Murdoch or that they can't still get out of the imperali hangover.
The Indian media has also been involved in such a scandal. And mind you not even a single finger was raised. I know reporters and television channels who have hired private investigators to crack the personal e mail accounts of the victim, relatives, friends and family members in the Arushi Talwar murder case.
I know of police officers, who have confided in me, stating that they were appalled to see how the media was reacting to the incident. They almost destroyed the evidence at the crime scene. Fingerprints of several reporters had contaminated the crime scene. But no one in our country has the balls to book these crooks without ethics. If we can not book our crooks we can't blame others. Somewhat similar to the case when Darkha Butt tries to put corrupt politicians in the dock.
I know of a newspaper which claims to be rather courageous.... changing stance in the Arushi case. Just like the CBI directors. But that is another issue to be dealt with some other time.
