Sometimes a TV anchor's ignorance grates. On July 31, on CNN IBN anchor Ananya, while reeling out reactions to the FTII students strike, said that a critic had questioned U R Ananthmurthy's appointment as FTII chairman in an earlier term, since he had nothing to do with the world of films . This is completely untrue. The anchor repeated this falsehood as if it was true! U R Ananthmurthy was a writer who won the Sahitya academy Jnanpith award and was nominated for the Man Booker. He was also awarded over the years for his film-related writing: Best Story Writer for Ghatashraddha (1977) and Best Dialogue Writer for Avasthe (1987) apart from awards for Samskara and Mouni.
