Audio Tapes scandal

Heard this news on the internet about the Nira Radia audio tape case. Even managed to hear few clips on youtube and read few transcripts on various websites.

The most shocking part is that these convesations that Nira is supposedly having is with no ordinary journalists, rather some of the most respected names who are guiding the content of some top channels/ newspapers.

If this (and the context) turns out to be true, I'll be shocked. It only unearths the biggest scam in making.

What do we do as Indians? Corrupt politicians and even more corrupt journalists?

All I can say that as any responsible reader, we should observe this much closely without prejudice and favoritism. People may be drawn to early conclusions and become judgemental. Let this be debated and the guilty be punished.

The journalists in question should take the initiative and call for a debate. If journalists have the right to question all, they deserve to be questioned too, if such serious allegations are directed on them. If they have right to go after everyone even in the faintest of suspicion, there should be prime time shows and front page headlines which should "report" these allegations. Using media clout and not letting this topic be debated in electronic media is bringing doubts on the names of the journalists (in the audio tape).

One who is true, need not fear, hence it is best to come out open and debate; and one who isn't clean, truth will anyway catch them!
