IN Media Watch Briefs | 30/09/2016

While TV news on Thursday night bristled with figures of casualties inflicted --how many terrorists per launch pad, therefore how many "neutralised" altogether, the morning papers are remarkable for the absence of details of damage inflicted or incurred. The Indian Express said the army gave no count of the dead on the Pakistani side. There was also some fleeting kite flying on TV about the casualties India suffered. But just as the Uri attack saw remarkably little discussion in the media on the army failures which made it possible, Friday morning's papers  offer no details about exactly how such an operation became possible with minimal casualties on the Indian side.
