The media watches everyone but itself, commented an argumentative friend the other day.
How many ‘sting operations’ has the media done on any of its own, say on the ‘Paid News’ controversy?
I was at a loss.
The morality of sting operations is a debatable topic but the larger point demanded a response.
The media does investigative stories practically every week but does it deliberately avoid turning the gaze inwards?
Is everything as it should be with the Indian media – newspapers or television channels?
