…pseudosecular-liberal credentials are, I bet they aren’t as strong or as pseudo as those of NDTV.

Shame on NDTV, for forcing a lone blogger to grovel in abject surrender!

Shame!!

DesiPundit: Patrix - Blogger Silenced by NDTV:

Terrorist attacks in Mumbai. Media reports. Bloggers blog. Twitterers tweet. People don’t like media’s coverage. Bloggers opine and report on media’s role. Media sues blogger for libel and defamation. Blogger forced to withdraw ‘offensive’ post.

Unfortunately for NDTV, other bloggers continue to blog. In strong protest of such intimidation.

digital inspiration: Amit - Indian Blogger Apologizes to NDTV for Quoting Wikipedia:

There is a storm brewing in the Indian blog world today.

Chyetanya Kunte, an Indian blogger based in Netherlands, was unhappy with the way a mainstream media journalist reported news about the Mumbai terror attacks and decided to blog his thoughts (scroll all the way down to read his original blog post).

Unfortunately, that reaction (or criticism) didn’t go down too well with the NDTV journalist - Ms Barkha Dutt - and their legal team therefore forced this blogger to withdraw the original story and also issue an unconditional apology.

Requesting all Indian bloggers with an interest in maintaining freedom of speech on the blogosphere to please read all the posts quoted by Patrix & Amit.

If you aren’t a blogger, follow the reactions on twitter.

Let us all welcome NDTV as the latest entrant into the pseudo-pseudo-secular-liberal group. They will find enough of our politicians, including the comrades from the red end of the spectrum there for company.

I hate it when I repeat myself, but I cannot help it:

Shame on you NDTV

Shame on you Ms. Barkha Dutt

Shame on you Mr. Prannoy Roy
