The one sided reporting by channels to project cricketers & owners of franchise as villains is nothing short of yellow journalism.How come the victim who has not refused the allegations of Sid on seeking his mobile number all night being portrayed as Seeta?Her so called fiancee has already admitted that he is only boy friend & in that case what was she doing with him in a hotel room at wee hrs?It has become a fashion for these corespondents of electronic media to portray people with wealth as villains which is quite sickening. The time lost in reporting such matters of no consequence while important issues like sidestepping on Lokpal & black money by political parties has put the future of nation to risk by so called free media.Justice Katju is absolutely right in seeking regulatory restrictions on such irresponsible reporting by channels & electronic media.

You're on the money, mate! The media stinks! And wants to call itself chaste after selling its soul for a pittance to the industrialist, bureaucrat and politician! This kind of journalism that panders to the moneyed class shamelessly is tabloid journalism, nothing less. Look how the powers that be are closing ranks with SRK trying to find ways to let him off the hook (if has hasnt been already..!!) Indian media is a joke... and its not funny!!

Indian media like Bollywood is run by hoes who do their masters bidding...mostly controlled by Dawood mafia.
Parnell had once announced that he would be converting to Islam .. I am not a muslim neither i like that religion ...but many times such things happen that you are present at the wrong place , at wrong time .. Why such incidents are happening with IPL but not when international matches are going on , because every visiting country cricket board and host country cricket board issues a behavioral program to its players which bans players from attending late night parties and meeting with common public without notice given to team management ... Also players feel like they are representing their respective countries , which brings a shame to them whenever they think of such nonsense acts of indulging into silly acts ... As IPL is managed by BCCI , players are not feeling their responsibilities... IPL team owners are least concerned with player behaviors ( off the field ) , rather they are spoiling them by inviting after-match parties and offering them a chance with dancing with Party bytches and hoes ... Thats why we are hearing a lot of controversies regarding IPL ... Please ban IPL .. it is neither good for development of cricket nor good for our culture ...

Personally if you ask me, it has nothing to do with the IPL. Its a common culture that people are embracing. They go out and have a few drinks. Nothing wrong with that. Yes if they are doing drugs, and if that is what their tests show, then being a role model for millions, maybe they should be punished by the respective governing board. But just because someone was doing drugs in a party doesnt mean everyone at the party is guilty. The media makes a big deal out of it.... No one cares what religion Parnell is, for everyone who watches the game with the same zest and enthusiasm as an ardent cricket fan lover that this country has produced, knows him to be a South African quickie who can bowl quick and plays to win. So we should just stop blaming every individual that the media points a finger at.

avinash ghanwat no one is asking your choice about religion. there was no need to drag the religion in this issue. You could have expressed you opinion in a better way. Why not pinpoint rahul sharma then who happens to be your brother in faith. You wont do it 'coz you are on e of those two faced hypocrites.
