The Indian Express’s May 4 page 1 anchor was one helluva story: the public broadcaster sanctions a 128 episode serial on the prime minister’s community, scheduled to run for ten years? And the PM’s brother is there at the muhurat? Except that it wasn’t sanctioned. The paper chose to “clarify”, not retract, somewhere on page two on May 6, that this is what the producer of the serial had claimed to the reporter. The error was regretted, it said. Now that’s letting yourself off lightly.
