And i agree wholeheartedly when u say [quote post="284"]cauze she was unprepared and her main objective was to sensationalize the issue… which I feel is very wrong…[/quote] Sagaro,

Ram Jethmalani actually was right. Sagarika Ghose hardly knew anything about barcode council or about the case. Ram was not blabbering, but Ghose was blabbering. Ghose: So you are defending Manu Sharma because you are angry with the press. Ram: No I am taking his case because he is my client and its my duty. Ghose: But you said you were angry with the media. Whata dumb logic... That height of how dumb a person can be. Two things needn't be related. Just because he said he was angry with the media for influencing the people, it doesnt mean he took the case because of that. I can point of a million instances in that interview where Ghose was acting like a moron and Ram was amazing... She can't question his morality. No one can. The whole thing was a farce and Ram was obviously disappointed about the whole thing.. cauze she was unprepared and her main objective was to sensationalize the issue... which I feel is very wrong...

She can’t question his morality. No one can. The whole thing was a farce and Ram was obviously disappointed about the whole thing.. cauze she was unprepared and her main objective was to sensationalize the issue… which I feel is very wrong…

There are very few Prabhu Chawla, Barkha Dutt and Tim Sebastians in the media! This reminds me of a talk my Prabhu Chawla. After his talk he was entertaining questions from the audience. Someone asked him why is that you put all the inane activities of politicians on the front page or as headlines and this definitely reflects your money minded approach to journalism. He was dumb after that!! He evaded the question after sometime by his usual style. Anyway. She might get there!! I am more than surprised Nitin,

Tim Sebastian's HardTalk is a good example. You don't challenge anyone, especially not someone who is at the apex of a certain field, on a matter of their expertise without being sure yourself. As can be seen from the discussion on my blog, it's not clear she read the Bar Council's code of ethics. She didn't have a factual basis for what she said. So all she was flinging at Jethmalani were merely opinions. And he hit the ball out of the ground. Btw, putting a smiley on that suggestion may prove unwarranted. She may get there yet! Sharique,

As a matter of fact i think that she was just like a normal reporter trying to squeeze out the truth. She should have respected Jethmalani. She shouldn't have been adamant about her opinions but then she was not well informed, as you have pointed out. But then what more do you expect out of reporter..would she have access to the previous court ruling and the evidences that led to Manu's accquaintal. I completely agree with your cabinet part..hope some day we shall have young and energetic politicians. BTW i have <a href="http://www.shaarique.com/mallika-for-president/" rel="nofollow">this</a> as a suggestion :P Nitin,

It is the same mentality that puts septua/octogenerians in the Cabinet. But in this context, not only was a highly opinionated journalist attempting to corner him, she was not even sure of the facts. She deserved what she got, I would think. Sharique,
