Why govt is not regulating these media people ? Why they are still independent and doing what they like ? Is it because govt is using them for their selfishness.....
Dont you think these medias are nothing but vested interested business & commercial houses only ?
It is high time that media is controlled and let only a civilised journalism work.

You mean to say you want Das Munshi to control all the news. Then Musharraf sounds positively like a democrat....

Media is a blackmailing entity making money by acting on behalf of business persons and politicians.That is why political parties will not like to control the media,just as they do not want to act against naxalites because they can be used for their benefit.

Burkha Dutt wants internal regulation. Go and see her site today. CPI crowd attacking RSS sympathisers are called 'activists' whereas RSS crowd attacking CPI symapthisers are called 'miscreants'. Biased and racists sites NDTV has no place in India.

Barkha Dutt , Rajdeep Sardesai ,NDTV have lost credibility by their biased reporting and mixing news and their views and presenting it as truth.Their association with CNN perhaps lets the cat out of the bag as to where their loyalties lie.Government have to make regulations for TV channels just like Censor Board for Movies. Self regulation by the commercial media will never work.

The media is not above board. Often they seem to have been bought to show such sting operations and at other times they seem to have their own political agenda in such sting operations. In all this an element of impartiality is totally missing.

Yes, I know of a TV channel which uses the sting operations to blackmail the concerned high profile people.
i think this is purely because of medias inaility of finding true storys from societys such ways are comparity easy way to fill air time of their respective channels ...shame on those media houses who do such things ...india have its extreem paradoxial neature in terms of social classes media people are unable to show truths on screen and that is after having huge money to spend
Very unfortunately media in India doesnot work impartially and almost all of them have taken a political stand already. NDTV's Prannoy Roy, Barkha Dutt already painted in Marxist ideology they will never see anything that is either pro or anti red...
Most of the channels it appears do support some political party or their so called ideals - read misdirection of people of the mass. A team of HC or SC retired Judges of neutral standing and other intellectuals again of neutral standing to go through typically hot debates and news presentation which has an impact of the decision making process of masses such as elections has to be made to REVIEW over 3 or 6 months the imbalanced or biased reporting or selective importance being given in type of questions being raised and interruptions while a good point is being made or allowing the opposite point to disturb,.. whether any editing is done,.. and such elements of the channel or the channel itself should be branded that they support so and so party. This should be made to appear through out the presentation. Democracy is information adn freedom of speech. Success therefore of our country depends on the correct message being given particularly to massess wh cannot dissect correct from the mischievous ones. Only entertainment for all is TV. And majority of channels are NEWS CHANNELs. With the masses being led in our country and not being able to make out who is mischief monger or who is not bothered about quick progress of this countrymen and wants to halt better quality leaders from coming up & for promoting the typical politicians of the post 1947 era of all powerful parties. FREEDOM TO MISLEAD THE UNFORTUNATE MASSES is the bane of our DEMOCRACY. So uncontrolled freedom of pre

The way anchor-upstarts indulge in innumerable sting operations, mostly against a particular set of persons to the exclusion of the their ideological comrades just for TRP ratings, deserve to be regulated. When Mr.Arun Shourie was the Editor of the Indian Express, the paper indeed conducted sting operations reg prostitution after infroming Judge. Mr.Shourie himself mentioned it during his interview on the TV. Barkha and her clan think that they are virtuous journalists and law unto themselves. Just watch the way they conduct programmes like " We the People'. They unceremoniously interrupt cut in those whose comments do not tally with theirs. Even the American media do not indulge in the kind of mindless sting operations solely with an eye on sensationalisation and TRP ratings.

100% true. Journalists of IBN, NDTV, AajTak think they are law unto themselves. This should be curbed.

The arrogance of the journalists/anchors, their behaviour as if they are above law and their blackmailing tactics make it imperative that we have a law to regulate news channels and sting operations,which are an encorochment into the individual's privacy.
