It is sad to see when the reporters get talked about and have the arrogance to call others "rubbish". Which is perfectly allright. Let her go after the admiral now :) Unfortunately this hubris of pathetic journalism has to be suffered. Sanjukta/Barkha have opinion and good one...unfortunately delusions of righteousness have marred many good ones.

There are no basis at all!! after killing soldeirs at Kargil she was not satisfied, she also got many hostages and policemen killed at the mumbai fiasco. And to top it all she goes after a defenceless blogger! what a pity ms.dutt, I pity on your meaningless existence, you are as human as we are, donot forget that. What fragile basis to support ms.dutt?

This was a time when all of India was so outraged that even a cub reporter from India could have put Musharraf on the defensive. Instead what does Prannoy do? He cowers throughout the interview, his body language that of a sycophant, feeling deeply grateful for being granted precious time with his master. Prannoy tentatively side-steps Kargil (!), bringing it much later in the interview, and even then, giving it a mere token mention, before moving on to CRICKET!!! He asks Musharraf about which cricketers he would like to have if India and Pakistan were to have a joint cricket team to take on the rest of the world. Prannoy seemed more interested in knowing Musharraf's choice of crickers than in knowing why Musharraf did a Kargil. It was bizarre. Instead of having Musharraf shift nervously throughout the interview, it was Prannoy shifting nervously. That one interview was sufficient showedme the mettle that Prannoy and NDTV is made of. NDTV's claim to fame was that it was one of the first to bring snazzy graphics to Indian television through the show 'The world this week'. That's ALL it has ever been, a snazzy graphics vendor. NDTV doesn't deserve to be called a respectable NEWS company. It has no journalistic character, as has now been proved through the NDTV-Barkha Dutt fiasco.

I do agree that nobody is beyond reproach and Barkha Dutt/NDTV should not have gone on the offensive just because they were maligned.
