Detailed Coverage

December 05, 2008

As the terrorist attacks in Mumbai unfolded last week, Indian news channels went into crisis-mode with non-stop coverage. But many Indians are now expressing outrage, saying that coverage was so detailed that it aided the terrorists. Arnab Goswami, chief editor of the English-language network Times Now, says the criticism is misguided and that India's young news networks rose to the occasion.

It's so nice to have OTM back!! Because of the irrepressible ideology of the staff (they even admitted it in last year's Christmas show if my memory serves), they were distracted by all things "Bush."

Look at all the real (and terrific) media stories we got this week!!! What a pleasure! If I had known this would be the end result of the election, I might have quit my job and worked for ACORN!

Keep up the good work... or I guess, keep Obama in the White House...

Now, who is going to keep Obama honest?
