Agree.
But if the images are doctored, that would be a new low for the press to report that on such a large scale.
Am here (in India) for a visit - and I really can’t figure out who controls which media here.
Some media outlets have had a better record of reporting and they are fairly silent still on some of these things except partially agreeing to both stories - which is where there truth might me. Am just curious which way it will look like in a week or two from now.
So far as international perception goes - they’ll treat us with contempt - both the countries. They always have and always will. They (international news agencies) are no saints themselves - see how the reporters are all western, while news was compiled by Indian and Pakistani journalists, who could write equally good English. So, I discount them as much as I discount the news channels here.
Jammer, the govt never reported the figure. Some buggers leaked it.
Point is and arguably this is the first time I will agree with you - 40 soldiers died and no one is discussing them and what led to it and that is a shame.
Sir there is no free media in india for your info...they all are are on someones payroll...if you want to be misinformed then one can watch these MSM channels...the reason i dont subscribe to any news channels on my DTH connection...also agree with your views on reuters they always tow the line of their governments Foreign policy...if washington says some one is a saint they will show him that way...if they tell the same guy as evil incarnate they show the same guy as evil...after all they are also controlled by the 1% just like here in india...quite simply kashmir will never be settled as india needs the water...and pakistan is only in the receiving end of it...we control the water...which india will never give...no matter how many terror strikes...blood will flow on both sides...for thousand years doesnt matter...india will replace the fallen soldiers,officers,bunkers etc...it can do so easily...the more attacks the more people in the south support india...its like a glue this conflict...unites us all under the same umbrella...my state tamil nadu is breeding ground for anti india thugs but come some event like kargil...you should have seen the response of the people on the street at that time...you would have be shocked.
