Take over bid
The independent media in India is already an endangered entity. In such a scenario, if the ‘rigorous attempts’ being made to take over an independent television media network are any yardstick (Page 1, August 24), one needs to understand how much significance there is to such attempts being made by ‘friends’ of the ruling regime to ‘tame’ the critical visual media. This development should be an eye-opener to the Opposition parties, too. Instead of daydreaming about prime ministerial candidates, they should focus attention on ensuring that highlighting the shortcomings of the ruling regime resonates with the common man.
