How does one prove corruption when there's a clampdown on the media????? Who would the whistle-blowers be in such a system????!!!!

Just curious, Pa!!

Niro,There can't be such a 'clampdown' on the media in the present world in any democratic society.I am quite sure atleast in my country the media is quite free to write what they want.Just recently,the Indian Express came out with an investigation report on how the relief money meant for the flood victims in Bihar were diverted/misused by an IAS officer and his allies.Patna Deputy Magistrate Gautam Goswamy is on the run as I type this and his accomplice Santosh Jha is under custody.Again the Indian media played a big role in bringing 'Tiger Pataudi'[Nawab Mansoor Ali Khan,who once led the Indian Cricket Team] before the law in a hunting case.They unearthed the Petrol Pump Scam where the followers of the then ruling party ran away with all the loot in the form of petrol pumps.

What I want to say is that is that the Indian media is as free and probably stronger than the media in other nations.
