The great joke that is Indian media - part 3
Courtesy Barbanindian, here is Part - III in the “great joke that is Indian media” series.
It mentions another piece of remarkably sloppy reporting by CNN-IBN. Excerpts:
“This morning they ran another sob story, a Dalit boy mercilessly beaten up by lawyers. Not only that, he was tied up to a tree and his head tonsured in full public view. Well, guess what? the perp turned out to be the boy’s own relative, hence another Dalit.
Not only that, the “boy” is apparently 22-year old.
I guess someone must have pointed it out, because a few hours later the story was edited to take out Dalit from the headline and body of the story.”
Amazing.
Read part 1 and part 2 here…and while on the subject of media, also have a look at “Barkha Dutt Ko Gussa Kyon Aata Hai?“, courtesy PrudentIndian.
