The media has become like rag pickers picking things from the dust-bins, roads and then sell to traders,in this case to the readers. There may not be news sense though we see the photograph of this Haneef splashed on every newspaper's front page.Not to spare even Rediff has contributed valuable space for last so many days flashing every move of this case.Instead of news value it is becoming sickening experience to watch space occupied by nonsensical matter

I agree with you. Last 20 days his picture has been flashed like none others as if news channels dont have any other news to tell. My gut feeling he is not innocent as the media is predicting. Manmohan singhs sleepless nights karnataka CM announcing a govt job all this political drama is so boring.

start your own media that wshow yr views and ideas dont blame the indian media man . bcoz of the 4th estate india still not be NAZI country
who is a suspect? he has been cleared of charges, what the media does is always overblown. but the thing is how responsible was the Aus media in getting the reality of it all. and the australian judiciary which actually got him released in not too bad a time.the aus government and machinery was shabby, but brilliance of the media and judiciary. the thing indian media has to learn is not just hackism and celebrity/ sensationalist from their western counterparts but also accountability to a story and using it as a voice and cementing its place as teh fourth pillar. also the indian judiciary has lots to learn from the aus judiciary on its fastness in dealing with the case etc. and the indian government and foriegn service were for once on the right side, keep that up.

I dont think crime is big deal in this part of world, the media hype and celebrity status one gets by doing so.....
Not every musilm is terrorist,even some innocent people like Haneef, are the victimised also ,its understanding of human,i accept media is showing too much for their publicity...

Now a days media has exaggerating the issues too much for their publicity, TRP ratings and money. They are selling the news. These people should learn where to draw the line. There was no need for creating so much of hype over Haneef's issue.
Dr Haneef may be innocent.What happened to pakistani coach.All the human being in this world are alike.Mr SANTOSH comments may be true.who are the people are responsible for most of the terrorism,rape, etc. You know the answer.

whatever said and done there was no evidence against Dr.haneef.So as long as there is no evidence he should be treated fairly.

Bigger story right now is from Afghanistan where taliban has kidnapped dozens of innocent koreans including wemen. how about that? any condemnation from any quaters from India?
The way media projected him yesterday at airport and his residence like a Kargil hero....

You are right, media is creating too much hype over this news. Lets not forget that the UK bomber was an Indian.

I think by looking to the whole episode , Terrorism and crime is not bad? the hype it is really attracting to do so......
if an australian was a suspect (for crimes committed elsewhere) here in india, does our govt. have the guts & nerve to detain him/her. we are still a second rate race to caucasians. white skin prevails !
Better if greater fuss over the issue is avoided, because Mr Russo has to fight the case to a logical end. Haneef's case must remain as pointer for all countries. Rabi Kanungo, Intellectual Forum.
