CNN.com - Police kill India's 'Robin Hood'� - Oct 18, 2004
I have an enormous respect for the American media and their part in acting as a control in a number of issues but they seem to have limited information about the "rest of the world". Veerappan did not help poor people, he was a smuggler and at one point I was fascinated with his ability to elude the authorities. Secondly who the f**k (want to keep this blog PG 13) is Rajkumar and I'm very positive that he is not one of the biggest stars in India. He might be a popular actor in Karnataka but ironically even the Kannadigas don't watch Kannada movies. Now a pick-up driving, steak eating farmer from Southern Indiana would have a wrong opinion about veerappan (Although his/her opinion hardly matters to the world except in the presidential elections - I feel for you man). It is very critical for well renowned news channels like CNN to be careful how they paint the picture because we the readers trust them. Hence unless it is related to Darfur, because nobody knows what going on there (maybe a few do but they don't have oil and we don't care about their stupid wildlife - I have seen it on discovery channel) the media is our eyes and ears they have the responsibility to show the right picture.
