Paid News: How corruption in the Indian media undermines democracy.
The recorded conversations suggest that two of India's leading
journalists Vir Sanghvi, the advisory editorial director of the
Hindustan Times, and
NDTV talk show powerhouse Barkha Dutt allegedly
said they would lobby for Raja with Congress Party kingpins.

Barkha Dutta & NDTV was exposed brokering the recent
political deal between the DMK and Congress. It is a pathetic state of
affairs in India where the media which is supposed to stand for
integrity and honesty is getting into downright brokering deals. Since
the media itself is in cahoots with the political class, why do Indians
still believe the news doled out by the English channels like NDTV.
