Indian media's role in covering the 11/26 Mumbai Terror Attack

The reckless, irresponsible, and abhorrent behavior showcased by our news channels is completely unacceptable. It is difficult to fathom the shamless and totally preposterous way in which the media has gone about its coverage of the Kargil conflict and lately the Mumbai attacks.

We the people must demand for some tough action from these accountability devoid and reckless idiots for exploiting people, and playing with their emotions in their zealous quest for stardom and TRPs at the expense of compromising our national security.

With the media being heavily inspired by our politicians’ my way or the highway philosophy, it is time we muster up courage to defeat the scourge of greed and selfishness. NDTV and Burkha Dutt must apologize not only to the likes of Chetan Kunte and Admiral Suresh Mehta, but to the entire nation for their utter disregard for human life in their continued attempts to sensationalize and leak information that hampered the rescue efforts.
