Thank you for your comments.
Our concern...Hi Jai.<br /><br />Thank you for your comments.<br /><br />Our concern is that we do not need PR companies in the garb of News Channels and News Papers. These outfits have already identified a messiah 2014 and are busy promoting. What we need is the detailed resume of the individual we must know what quantum and quality of work done before entering active politics. Top Job of India cannot be handed out on a platter on compassionate ground or as a matter of inheritance to anyone. India is far too precious for such frivolous and dangerous experiments.Anil Kohlihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03216814999818533895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4076073562850579122.post-2870678980476333512010-02-22T10:47:07.740+05:302010-02-22T10:47:07.740+05:30Nice to know that others also noticed the change i...Nice to know that others also noticed the change in aggression levels of Ravi Shankar Prasad (I did not watch Chandan, but Prasad sounded very different from the past). This is a very important area in which BJP needs to make improvements - esp when the media is so slanted.<br /><br />The area of media which needs investigation is the reports space. As you pointed out, the edit page has the freedom to express an opinion, but the news reports are supposed to carry a report - as is. Most of the english media - press & electronic, like to add a spin on these reports - which is more dangerous.<br />IMO most Indians only read & are influenced by the "news" pages - few / very few probably read the edit pages.<br />So while the spokepersons have job to do (on edit pages), there is another area in which needs to be addressed.Jaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11232582295190741309noreply@blogger.com
