CNN "International" - Get yourself to be more competent !

The CNN reporting on the Nov 26 Mumbai madness is atrociously incompetent !

Comparing the reports by CNN versus the one by IBN blatantly highlights the vast difference in the reporting quality for correctness, clarity and completeness. All that I hear from CNN are regurgitated irrelevant reports that are far from clear.

To add to the incompetence of their reports the narrators pass doubts about the competence of the India military/Police/Intelligence and keep on repeating how India was offered help from US and UK ?

Some advice for CNN - the incompetent party here happens to be your international reporting team.

Go get a competent international reporting team !

Expecting some confused american reporters/narrators to clearly understand the complexity of what is going on the ground in a country they do not understand is unreasonable.

A good reporter needs to know the country down from their heart and soul to correctly interpret and report events- especially at such tense occasions. You need to be a native to truly understand the gravitas of what is going on. The American reporters/narrators have no idea what is going on - they are just clueless.

You must have a competent local team to truly understand what is going on !

--- Over to IBN now.
