Has Dr. Prannoy Roy sold his soul or are his red chaddis showing? As torchbearer of 'truth', NDTV has been at the forefront to expose, criticise and fight against any kind of injustice. Though there have been rampant accusations about NDTV being a mouthpiece of 10, Janpath at times and of Communists at times, no one ever questioned their search for information.
But their coverage (or non-coverage) of Nandigram exposes it all. While CNN IBN has been brave, honest and direct in its criticism of West Bengal Govt with both Sagarika Ghose and Diptosh Majumdar mincing no words asking Buddhadeb to resign, NDTV has been surprisingly silent or focussing on other 'non-issues'. Maybe any other state and we would have seen Burkha Dutt and likes out there on ground zero getting the scoops but then WB is not just any other state for them.
Makes one wonder if the pressures of running a media house has finally caught up with Dr. Prannoy Roy and he is finally showing how news media is dictated terms by money and political belief.

Got this mail a few days back... i'm sure it will provide some insight at your observation
" NDTV: A very popular TV news media is funded by Gospels of Charity in Spain Supports Communism. Recently it has developed a soft corner towards Pakistan because Pakistan President has allowed only this channel to be aired in Pakistan. Indian CEO Prannoy Roy is co-brother of Prakash Karat, General Secretary of the Communist party of India. His wife and Brinda Karat are sisters."
