My opinion on the 2G spectrum scam is not clear after I discussed the matter with a friend but the idea that Barkha Dutt served in the Nira Radia nexus is just unacceptable.
And of course the great Indian media (the worst private organization cartel in the country) refuses to cover the matter. Here’s info on the matter: http://barkhagate.blogspot.com/
One thing I can conclude about the whole media thing based on the past few years is that everywhere in the world, the idea that the media can support a democracy is just a big fat lie sold to us normal citizens. In the US, leading news channels fund grassroots movements and have been engaged in polarizing the nation, in India, the media is in bed with the legislature – these are the 2 largest democracies in the world. I agree with LKY on the subject of the media’s role in politics – there is no incentive for the media to keep supporting citizens.
