Irresponsible is no longer enough to describe the way media handled the Mumbai mayhem. But hold on the madness is not over yet. What I am shocked at is the fact that exactly what is the media is trying to prove by giving an exact count of the number of Muslims and number of Hindus killed in the Mumbai attack?
Does a religious break down of the number of dead make a difference to the entire situation? Does this make the acts of the perpetrators more heinous?
When will we realise that this is not about caste, colour, religion or nationality! Terror has no religion... a terrorist has no nationality. These are heinous acts of crime against humanity. We can't win this war with the help of caste, colour, religion or humanity. Is the human in me dead? I am all about being Hindu, Muslim, Irish, Greek, coloured or brahim? Is there something called humanity or did she did die... after tirelessly knocking millions of doors across the world? Who killed her? You, me or the terrorist? Or did we force her to commit suicide?
Let's put an end to this madness. Let's give peace and humanity a chance. Let's come together and fight this united. Let us not let a handful of people with vested interests divide us.
Change will not come by mere demanding for it. Let's work towards that change... Every step... every voice... every vote counts.

Agree there should be a regulation, however some channels are sensitive than most others. ...Reply
change will not come by itself, we have to do something about it.
i propose a few things
1) first and foremost, accountability (any one - be it CM or the local politician).
2) transparancy - in what ever we do.
3) progressive develpment.
4) no blame games.
5) everyone should take responsibility for there actions / inactions.
6) common man should raise voice - the famous chalta hai attitude should go.
i can go on ..........
wakeup and try to contribute to the society and country for a better future for the coming generations.

Failure of intelligence followed by an even bigger failure of common sense. The media shouldn't have been there. Full stop. Either to beam across to the world (including to the very people who were behind the attacks) "live coverage" of "War on Mumbai" or gloat about how very "exclusive" their pictures of the attacks were. That some amount of secrecy was vital to ensure the success of the operation was obvious. How come it didn't strike the people in-charge sooner is something baffling in the extreme. No matter how serious the crisis is, the media comes across as nothing more than a more than usually callous pack of bloodhounds trying to outdo each other on the number of casualties they can report. They have fine tuned the art of dissecting an issue without a trace of gumption. ...Reply
