CNN-IBN fakes live debate with Sri Sri 's recorded interview!

The Truth behind Face the Nation (FTN)

Airing a fabricated and totally biased cut-and-paste panel discussion as a desperate attempt to silence and tarnish some one of high standing who may disagree with you ideologically... this is the pathetic and highly deplorable tactics some of the media houses are resorting to in our country.

A very serious ethical issue here is that the defendant does not have any chance to defend herself/himself against any of the (probably false) allegations leveled against her/him. A clear attempt to malign the image of a responsible citizen by influential vested interests.

This is exactly what Ms. Sagarika Ghose and the CNN-IBN crew did to Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, a leading light in the fight against corruption!

What was a one-on-one interview at around 3 PM was aired on the same day at 10 PM as a live panel discussion!!

Ms. Ghose acted as if Sri Sri was on the line and was speaking to her. She shamelessly even posed questions to him and even invited his response to the live panel discussions!! A close look at the video shows that he was actually not wording any of the statements correctly. Hence the video was made at another time and the interview taken at another!!

To think that the public or the rival networks are foolish and will not hit out at this cut and paste job shows the arrogance and naivette of the broadcasters. To think that Sri Sri's followers will not catch on to it is also foolish.

Lets hope that Ms. Ghose and the CNN-IBN crew pay the price of this misdemeanor. CNN-IBN has opened itself to law suits that may run into multi-million dollar damages for such a blatant abuse of power just in case Sri Sri's office decides so!!

Will the channel axe her or will it let her hang around like Ms. Barkha Dutt just to resurrect her another day? A small prize for their loyalty and political clout!

The QUESTION posted in the screen is : SHOULD SPIRITUAL LEADERS STAY AWAY from ANTI CORRIPTION to which people have responded NO ......... BUT THIS MEDIA B_TCH has twisted the question by sayin --- SHOULD GOD MEN participate in POLITICAL MOVEMENT and the ANSWER is NO ......... WTF

[pappulive20four7]

no surprise. Rajdeep Sardesai is a completely sold out Ahole. Obviously his channel will do what he tells them

[niceguy7099]

It's too bad to see that people who are doing some good work are questioned so much with irrelenvant or meaningless questions. The topic of the debate itself is utter non-sense. Any citizen of India has a right to stand up and fight against corruption. I don't understand from where the topic of the debate came from, anyways.. (Other than it is politically motivated itself)

Disgusting!!! Ms Ghose think you've lost the plot. How the hell can one accuse someone for doing a service which is not even considered as their prime responsibility. in this way we are only discouraging people to come forward and work.I want to ask all these speakers including Ms.Ghose-What hell have they done to Fight corruption ? C'mon people be real, have some responsibility as speakers on National television.I suggest use your mind a little bit if not more before you speak or even comment !

@theeviltwi9 yeah, and your comment show what a life you have, clearly you got nothing better to do in life. i assume you are not educated, but common sense need not to come from school alone.

and sure no argument will show you the truth, someone can only force you to go to school but cant force you to learn.

[EkBharatiy]

CNN-IBN is reducible and its political channel. Initially they have started well, but now they are showing true color...

[theeviltwi9]

@ayodhyawasi: Educating ignoranus(ignorant+asshole) kids is constructive utilization of time.

But seriously, this comment does show that you have run out of arguments. :)

[ayodhyawasi]

@theeviltwi9 if you are so damn busy, why dont do something constructive, why wasting time in youtube. and you spend all the time writing stupid comments, but cant do little work to find out truth.
