Yet another Hall of Shame for Indian journalism

It is no doubt shameful: A man died because of journalists who instigated him to end his life.
The journalists (read cameramen) gave Manoj Mishra match box and diesel to self-immolate so that they could get a 'good footage' of a man burning shown live and could be aired as sensational news.
Mishra died. The police have registered a case of abetment for suicide against six journalists. The FIR doesnot name anybody and naturally the mediamen would go scot-free.
But isn't it shameful! Reuters said, 'journalists helped him suicide in order to get dramatic footage'. Mishra, a delivery man, was upset over a large sum of money owed to him by a state-run dairy farm. However, the journalists who wanted sensational footage so that they could get airtime handed him the matchbox and diesel.
Worse was the conduct of the journalists after the incident as Mishra was badly burnt in process but none of the journos tried to save him and were busy shooting him engulfed in flames. He was not taken to hospital or the police informed either. Mishra succumbed to burns on Independence Day.

Really a sad state of affairs...That is why there is a need for someone to sit on top of these assholes to control them. And pray, Why no one is naming the names as to who these journalkists were ...from which channels ( I am presuming they were from electronic media)

sometimes, one wonders: should the government ban news channels instead of movie channels...
