With over 30+ "news" channels in India, I guess they will report anything as "breaking news" today. Watching these pics was unbelievable.

Rahul Gandhi had vegetables and bread for lunch

Cat stuck on the roof for 6 hours

Amitabh Bachchan felt cold

They found the Police Commissioners missing dog!

It's true and disheartening, i wish this sector like the mobile phone sector gets organized within. Like Airtel, Vodafone, etc, lowered their call charges due to stiff competition, i hope, am somewhat right about this observation. Similarly, these, so called news channels take some socail responsiblity.

Another thing in my observation, they even make Hindi sound cheap, talking of Hindi, I must appreciate opera in Hindi, but miss the Googe's new transliter plug-in, please! make for us a widget or a
plug-in or may be Enlish to Hindi or vice-versa.

P>S> Am sure you know hindi, how do u say "Koshish" in Hindi?
I bet you can't answer in 5 secs

India TV is not a news channel, its an entertainment channel.

Why stop at hindi channels even some English channels like Headlines today fabricate news.

Ha ha.. Agreed..
Indian news channel are truly hilarious. But in the recent Terror attacks in India, they are worth all the applauds. They do, though only at times, deliver on their responsibilities. I feel our country in general misinterprets and misuses democracy. They are no different.. b'cause for them all makes sense if TRP's is to go up..!!!
