[Reader-list] Hindu terrorism in Jammu

[radhikarajen at vsnl.net]

Exactly,  that is when journalists loose whatever little credibility that have had.!

   By the way any of the list members , did you notice the issue of Delhi dreams advertisement, Farmers being congratulated for good harvest by Ag. Minister., appearing only in one cannel from th day of voting till now, as perhaps a payback scheme for the sting kept under wraps. ? That is the standard of journalism in visual media, thus in the process channels are loosing their credibilty as they get labelled by the viewers as pro party channels.?

 Regards.
