Vadodara erupted and the channels found a great TRP boosting event. Unlike Kashmir killings that ironically don't 'sell', Vadodara, a city in Vibrant Gujarat was burning and channels could not leave the opportunity.
When a man was burnt alive the Ajtak anchor again and again asked the reporter, 'Has he been identified?'. So these foolish anchors want the name and thus the religion so that city could go to flames again and again. Where is that sacrosanct principle of not counting deads by their religion, gone?
Earlier, everybody was saying that dargaah was 200-year-old. The reporters hadnot done their homework and were not saying how such an old structure can be encroachment. Even the name of the Sufi Saint was not reported on most channels the first day. What kinda reporting is that?

Well Said! Even I want to know how a 300/200 yr old structure became an encroachment. Someone pls explain.
Right. If its 200 years old, obviously it is the city that encroached on the shrine, not the other way around. I think I read that line in Indian Express.

2007 में गुजरात चुनाव होने वाले हैं और अब दंगों की शुरुआत हो चुकी है. क्या ये माना जाए कि मोदी की प्रयोगशाला में परखनली परीक्षण शुरू हो चुका है? महाजन की महिमा के गुणगान में रमे खबरिया चैनल बीच-बीच में वडोदरा दंगों की ख़बरे देते रहे. महाजन के बाद सबसे ज़्यादा दिखने वाली यही खबरें थी. 'सीएनएन-आईबीएन' तो तन्मयता से मोदी-निंदा में जुट गया. 'एनडीटीवी' तो कुंडली मार के बैठा था. हुआ दंगा और मारी फुंकार. उधर, एक खबर कश्मीर के डोडा से भी आई जहां हिन्दुओं का नरसंहार हुआ. कोई बात नहीं ये तो होता ही रहता है अपने कश्मीर में...यहां की ख़बरें बिकती नहीं.
इंडिया टीवी महाजन के महिमागान में जुटा रहा. वैसे भी गुजरात के मामलों में इंडिया टीवी फूंक-फूंककर क़दम रखता है.
'आज तक' के एंकर महाशय तीन मई की रात दंगे में ज़िंदा जलाए गए शख्स का नाम अपने रिपोर्टर से पूछ बैठे. चलिए नाम नहीं बताकर रिपोर्टर ने समझदारी का परिचय दिया लेकिन सीएनए-आईबीएन ने उस मुस्लिम नागरिक का नाम ज़ाहिर कर दिया.. ख़बर फ़ैली तनाव बढ़ता चला गया. दंगों की रिपोर्टिंग में बीबीसी हमेशा हिन्दू-मुसलमान वगैरह साफ़ लिखा और बोला करता है. हमारे यहां अब तक परहेज़ रखा जाता था. लेकिन अब खबरें ऐसे आती हैं. बानगी देखिए.. ''दरगाह गिराए जाने से नाराज़ एक समुदाय के लोगों ने प्रदर्शन किए और बाद में दूसरे समुदाय से इनका टकराव हुआ''. बताएं कि क्या अब भी आप नहीं समझे? इसके बाद क्या फ़र्क पड़ता है कि दंगों में हिंदू या मुस्लिमों के मारे जाने की ख़बरे बताएं या ना बताएं. प्रिंट और टेलीविज़न मीडिया दोनों ही अपनी सीमारेखाएं तय नहीं कर पाएं हैं. प्रेस कॉउसिल ऑफ़ इंडिया या एडीटर्स गिल्ड की किसे परवाह !
