It is surprising that the politicians are blaming TV channels for having shown the terrorist attack live. If at all the channels have done any good things,it is this. They should be congratulated for showing the general public everything.At least now people know about terrorist acts and how should they behave if caught in such a situation. Not only that,the lapses on the part of the Navy and Coast Guard were brought to light.The politicians were exposed. That is why they are angry and thinking of putting restrictions on tv coverage of such events.The NSG personnel were honoured.So far they were unknown heroes.All the deficiencies were shown live. The politicians are unhappy because they could not bluff the people with their lies.
At the same time Media needs some corrections...........The media, specially the electronic media,has come in for a lot of flak for their overenthusiastic coverage of the terrorist attack in Mumbai.In the race for "breaking news",they overlooked the basic rules of disaster coverage.It is also said that at times they compromised our security personnel.The media urgently needs some self-regulating guidelines for disaster coverage.
