I watched that program and it was a beat up on the part of Channel seven TV channel with the hidden agenda of scaring the Australian athletes from competing at the commonwealth games. A newsreader of the same channel read the news of two Taiwanese journalists shot by terrorists have died. Australian media-print and electronic-are on frenzy about what is happening at the Delhi Commonwealth Games daily. The Media watch is casting aspersion on the truth of the story.

John coats, Australian International Olympic Committee member, made an outrageous comment: India shouldn’t have given the Commonwealth Games. Who the hell is he to make such outrageous comment? Commonwealth Games or, for that matter, Olympics Games are his fiefdom to be allocated to countries that he pleases. I have made an opposite comment than that of his on an outlook blog-India shouldn’t have bid the Commonwealth Games because of the staggering amount of money spent on it. That money could have been spent on other pressing needs that India is facing. Indian taxpayers wouldn’t get returns for the money expended on it.

I wonder when are we going to have an "Indian Media Watch"?

Wow, what a shock. A report was believed without any investigation or verification. Because the journalist was white of course.
