		<description>Fantastic post Da!!&lt;br/&gt;I loved the one on Barkha, she was one hysterical queen, lost her voice and had completely lost it with her comments. The other channels BTW, were no better. I don&#039;t know if you heard India TV or not?? They specialise in &quot;exclusive deals&quot;!!</description>

		<description>Ramesh,&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Thats a refreshingly different take on this unfortunately tragic incident ... &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Ok, i am not an expert on writing styles, but here is a comment - I think u have a fairly decent sense of humour. But that humour will carry more punch if you have a more taut writing style. Remember, Brevity is the Sword of Wit. So if u can convey ur humour in slightly fewer words and words that carry more weight than the normally used ones,and in a style thats more prose like than normally spoken out sentences, i think u have a neat blog. I think with practice u can do that.</description>

		<description>Not very funny. Certainly didn&#039;t find as funny as others are saying above. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I can see now a days that people are blaming one or the another. By one way or the other. News channels blaming politicians, people blaming politicians, politicians blaming each other. Instead doing something constructive/good, everyone is busy blaming each other. Found something similar here. Someone else blaming news channels and politicians.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Enough, otherwise it will sound like I am blaming you. Nothing personal.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Sameer.</description>

		<description>whats all this crap about &#039;our very own 9/11&#039;. It virtually proprietory in its tone. It almost as if the news channels believe that no country&#039;s trophy shelf of horrors is complete without a 9/11 to top it off!</description>

		<description>awesome post, boss. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;the media have completely exposed themselves as incompetent nincompoops. never have i so many in such a hyper state.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;everyone seemed to be in need of anxiety control pills; sardesai was the worst. he was completely bonkers - at one time he even announced the terrorists had started firing at RBI. minutes later he apologized, but kept repeating the rumor - he just couldn&#039;t stop himeslf.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;and yet again, everyone started parroting the same bulls*** about mumbai&#039;s &quot;spirit&quot; and &quot;resilience&quot; and how it will &quot;bounce back&quot; (as though all other cities somehow refuse to get back to normal).&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;sardesai even asked a group of prominent bombayites whether mumbai would bounce back - this, when the operation had entered another gory phase, people were still dying, bombs were going off!&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;and why was there no central media co-ordinator? why were NSG, army and navy officials allowed to speak to the media? the country has become the laughing stock of the whole world.</description>
