When Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi uses the word “News Traders in Delhi”, how true he is? Modi has spent long time in Delhi in late 90s, and he must be knowing these news traders and their shameful activities. Other politicians also must be knowing them. However no one other than Modi has used this “News Traders” word in public so far.

Now start reading this story. And spend some time exploring links given below the article.

Internet has democratize the world of information. Our old dinosaur newspapers and flashy TV channels look so poor in front of internet, and its zealous users/contributors.

While majority of media houses have not uttered a word on leaked phone call recordings of Delhi based PR firm lady Neera Radia, the other minor section of media has published a short piece on this, but that too in ‘playing it down’ style.

A highly retweeted comment on twitter says, “Aroon Purie vetoed India Today cover story on Radia tapes as Tata Group stopped ads to Headlines Today when tapes first surfaced in TV story.”

So in Nira Radia tapes, Tata himself is also there, Ambanis including Nita Ambani are mentioned, Praful Patel’s corruption is talked about, Shobha dey’s article is discussed. But the heroine that emerges is Barkha Dutt in this whole chapter. Enthusiastic and vigilant newzy netizens are now seriously questioning honesty and integrity of Barkha Dutt. Another interesting piece of recorded audio tape is Nira Radia’s talk with Hindustan Times Editor Vir Sanghvi who is ready to take Mukesh Ambani’s scripted/rehearsed/favoured interview.

Following two links will take you to another frustrating chapter. Listen to the tapes, and you will be shocked to listen, what’s happening in circle to which we, the common people have no access.

Thanks to internet, thanks to internet, thanks to internet, thanks to internet, such things are reaching to us, minority of people. But look the reality, all major newspapers, and TV channels are silent. Because these tapes show how naked they are in Hamam, and how Hamam is overcrowded.

If you choose to click following links and click on audio buttons on subsequent pages, be ready to get frustrate, dear patriotic Indian.
