The press note that arrived in the major newspaper offices in India on last Monday evenng had announced the capture of a former Nazi who was hiding in Goa. The press note was from 'Perus Narkp,' 'the intelligence wing of the German Chancellor's Core.' Some 24 hours after the story was splashed by Goan and the national press, doubts began to circulate about the authencity of the news. It was a fake news created by Pen Pricks, a group who works as a media watch-dog mainly in Goa, as a test dose to the journalistic practice of the mainstream mediahouses of India ! The next day, they came out with the truth, giving in detail how they had 'created' the news and how the media lapped up it with relish, without fail. While some of the newspapers have taken the item off the web, it is still there for 'Deccan Herald,' 'Times of India,' 'The New Indian Express,' 'The Indian Express.' 'Asian Age,' 'Telegraph,' (Calcatta), and 'Deccan Chronicle,' have taken the item off. 'The Hindu,' is not seen on the list. May be, they 'missed' the story and the concerned editor may have raised storm over the editorial meeting over 'the miss,' true to 'The Hindu,' fashion ! In this context, I remember a news story that appeared in Malayala Manorama some time back. A NRI business man from Kerala, who had set up an animation company (forgot the name), died due to cardiac arrest while flying from Australia to USA. The Manorama story opened with a sentimental note, the rough translation goes something like this - 'when the plane took off from the airport, (the son's name), did not think his father, sitting in the next seat, was slipping off to the final sleep...' The next day, alongwith the reports on the funeral, there was a correction from the family that the son was not accompanying the deceased man ! Flights of Fantasy from the editorial desk !!!
