India Stops 'live' CNN Transmission. - Good Riddance.

A report just came in -- CNN tells us their "license expired".

That sounds very very suspicious ! -- A behemoth news organization like CNN forgets to renew their license exactly at this point of time ? I do not believe the explanation is so simple !

CNN getting their live transmission cut off serves them right. I have a feeling that was a deliberate move.

Listen out. I had expressed earlier how the CNN reporting was incompetent and downright distasteful and disrespectful. Just take one example -- There were segments where some local city sheriff from New Orleans was grading the performance of the Indian commandos as if it were kindergarten school. Is this what CNN wants to report about ? -- Give me a break ! -- Shame on You CNN.

Someone should ask the narrator -- If the west thinks so highly of their military/intelligence --- Why did it take so many years for the thousands and thousands of western soldiers and all the western technology to battle in Iraq ? Have you met with success there ? Huh ? Did you not learn in all this while -- it is not easy dealing with terrorists ! ?

CNN -- Teach your narrators/hosts something about the world ! Learn to look beyond your own western self.

Even as mumbai is going through tragedy -- all you western media can think of is your own western self ? ?


CNN -- Is this the time to talk about the chinks about how these events are being dealt with ?

CNN -- You are worried about the handful of westerners killed/injured and their lives - Why is there not a single thought provoking segment about the hundreds of Indians killed/injured ?

CNN -- You are reporting about how "Unconfirmed India Sources" believe the attackers could be linked to some other country. Did you every say it was the "Unconfirmed American Sources" who believed the attackers of 9/11 came from Iraq ?

CNN -- Your reporting on the delicate events in mumbai are plain supremist, racist and shamelessly catered to your own viewers/clienteles narrow point of view. Think about it. And pull up your bootstraps.

And yeah - About the tragedy in Mumbai. Remember -- The good shall win. The good always wins.

Jai Hind.

Take a look at what YOU wrote and tell me it isnt racist!
If you hate the west so much what exactly are you doing in the US?
Saying 'Jai Hind' while sitting comfortably in the US doesnt make you 'patriotic.
You should check out what the local Indian news channels are reporting...all they seem to be worried about is how this will affect the upcoming cricket matches!

1. There is nothing I wrote that belittles any race. Look carefully. My beef is against the incompetent and biased reporting. A news channel must be "neutral". I observe CNN/Wolf et al. always talk about the heroic american soldiers in iraq. I agree they are heroic and I salute them. But why can they not accept the heroic sacrifices of the Indians ? Or may be even the heroic russian/iraqi/etc soldiers ? I distinctly detect the double-standards.

I would stand up for the "good" in any race - I am belittling no one.


2. Being Patriotic has nothing to do with where you live. There could be traitors living in India and Patriots living outside India. Few of the greatest India patriots - Gandhi, Nehru, Tata, Gokhale and innumerable such did live outside India for long times.

3. Yes - the cricket matches being disrupted is such a big disaster !!! - whats wrong with being cross with that ? :)
