The Tapes - Edited & Shown on CNN IBN



The TAPES for MP's with a Crore yesterday on CNN IBN edited?

The 22nd July 2008 - Note for Vote scam tapes were shown on CNN IBN news channel with its Managing Editor Rajdeep Sardesai stating that "as the news channel and its correspondents had deposed before the Parliamentary Committee formed by the Hon'ble Speaker of Indian Parliament regarding the Note for Vote scam in the morning so they could now show what occurred on that fateful day."

But why were the TAPES edited?

Why couldn't Rajdeep decide to show the un-edited raw version to the viewers? Did the news channel edit the tapes during those 24 hours from 22nd july 2008 to 23rd july 2008 when the channel submit the tapes to the Parliament Secretariat?

These are pertinent questions that came to my mind as I watched the TAPE SHOW. It was as Rajdeep was doing some form of charity towards his viewers as he frowned while delivering his comments and lines. He swore many a times that his channel was not taking any stand of who was guilty or anything but this did shadow the entire episode as I kept thinking why did his channel take so long to show the tapes?

Well lets await the Indian Parliamentary committee which shall come out with its decision by the end of August 2008. Who was guilty and who was not shall be out then.

But CNN IBN has lost its face, its credibility as a news giver thats certain.
