Another silklister, Amit Varma, has a slightly different perspective: http://in.news.yahoo.com/columnist/amit_varma/33/the-thunderous-silence <quote> ...the media has mostly ignored their story, as if it doesn't matter. But if this story doesn't matter, then the media doesn't matter, because this strikes at the heart of what journalism is and should be about. The media isn't willing to do this self-examination -- for obvious reasons. So much, then, for the notion of our journalists being the watchdogs of society -- these dogs guard the burglars who strip our houses bare. Such it goes. </quote> -- ((Udhay Shankar N)) ((udhay @ pobox.com)) ((www.digeratus.com))
