RE:How can state control news channels?
by kp kp on Nov 09, 2007 05:16 AM

Tehlka is known for the following tactics:

- Not fact-finding stings, but tailoring the footage to pre-meditated 'fact' specifications.
- It is known to use prostitutes to elicit desired footage on tape
- It is known to tape sex with prostitutes to blackmail the persons for getting desired footage on tape
- It is known to do cut and paste job, putting words in the mouth, taking comments out of the context to manufacture meanings that interviewee never intended
- It has been alledged in this sting that one of the interviewee was asked to enact lines from prepared text for a TV serial.
-It has been alleged by one interviewee that he was merely recounting what FIR against him alleged, but cut and paste job gives the impression that he is actually confessing and bragging about his crime.

Tehlka is perfect example of corrupt media. In India, corruption is endemic because its watchdog, its media is corrupt whose mission is to misguide, confuse and corrupt masses so that masses do not become enlightened or united in purpose.
