At the end of a year in power do this PM and his ministers trust the media more than before? From what the Hoot can gather from reliable sources, only a few elements within it and print editors more than TV ones. They attribute their difficulties in Parliament over the land acquisition bill to corporate owned TV channels and the frenzy they have been whipping up both on Rahul Gandhi’s interventions and on the Gajendra Singh episode. On the issue of not condemning fringe Hindutva elements enough, they think the media is being foolish. Do journalists seriously expect the PM to energetically disown every loony who pops up in some corner of the country?
