I read some of the posts and can't help but think that people have very low expectations from the Media.
Rajdeep I think did a great job by not airing the footage, this I think is because of two reasons a) Inconclusive Evidence or b) Strong Ethical Values. CNN IBN would never have been approached if BJP was not sure that they would hire the telecast. This display of Media Values & Ethics is commendable and he chose this ahead of TRP's is a even bigger thing. I am sure to watch CNN-IBN now.
Nowadays tape tampering can be discovered and I really dont think Rajdeep or any of his production personnel will be so stupid to commit perjury. And if he indeed did the same he could have hired the event.
And Finally the person implicated here is Amar Singh & Ahmed Patel. Ahmed Patel has never faced a controversy before and has been appreciated for his efforts across all groups and Parties, for Amar Singh who ever has followed his political strategy and his experience in politics even though if such a thing a happened he is not stupid not to ensure that he is not being taped or a sting operation is conducted on him since this is the era of "Sting Operations"

Balls ! This guy Rajedep would have gone to telecast the 100 times if BJP was buying an MP. That Amar Singh and Ahmed Patel (who is a mister 10% for taking care of 10 Janpath's cut from contracts) is involved has made the crook of Indian media squirm.

Jouranlists are not Police officers to produce inclusive evidence. Nowhere in the world Journalists are bound to produce news with inclusive evidence, their job is to gather news and publish it.
No comments on strong ethical values !! Just to mention that, he has spend investors money to gather the information and has not aired it, is it ethical?
If we judge and incident related a person by evaluating that he has not been convicted never before, nobody can be booked for a first time crime.
With respect to reputation of Ahmed Patel and Amar singh the whole world knows what is their respective duties in Congress and Samajwadi party
