how the press is managed

i am no expert on this subject and i certainly should not be putting out this post.
but i was appaled to see this story about the Sahara boss in the times of india.
to me, it shows how low some in the media can stoop. the entire story has the line - all is fine with daddy and he is a great guy.

how about using the opportunity to ask some tought questions. why dad doesnt appear in public. how much public deposits has dad taken. how is the RBI scrutiny of his business going. can they provide the annual reports of dad's companies. what is the source of dad money. why doesnt dad ever hold a press conference. do they get a great inflow of principal every month than interest paid out. - a true test of a ponzi scheme. perhaps "dad" should answer these questions.

when pesticide is found is soft drinks, there is a sunitha narian taking up the issue. when food is adulerated there are thousands of food inspectors to check. same applies to the hundreds of things we consume on a daily basis.

but when the most potent commodity in today's world - information - borders on trash- there is hardly any check. just an anonymous ,unread ,blogger writes a stupid post.
