The credibility of media is under serious scrutiny and some actions of media in the recent past have only increased the common man's concerns over objectivity of reporting.
Case in point:
Nov 19th: CNN-IBN reports: High inflation blow to Govt's credibility: Montek Singh Ahluwalia (as a top headline) (Link to the video >>http://bit.ly/sgfslM, which I can't find on the main page anymore)
Nov 20th: the entire interview is telecasted. Mysteriously it doesn't find any mention on the top headlines of the site or in the politics section.
Nov 21st: Tucked away in a slide show the same show has a new headline and guess what it reads. 'Indian banking's downgrade by Moody's absurd: Montek Singh Ahluwalia' (6th slide on the left side of the site) (Video link >> http://bit.ly/rvcvKi) .
I am left wondering why the headline changed from an explosive confession to an inconsequential rhetoric. Why is the news kept away from the headlines? Was there a direction from the Govt.?
