When negative journalism becomes obvious...

Some journalists and media agencies never change and take immense pleasure in negative one-sided reporting.

Here I find one another example today in IBN Live: Caste divide rules Bihar police

If my memory is not too bad, I remember there was a proposal some months back to abolish this practice of separate kitchen in police force. But unfortunately this fact doesn't find mention anywhere in the report. And what about other facts related to police reforms being planned and executed by the new government?

Sometimes biases become too obvious. What is junta's opinion?

This is an old news,and was published in local hindi newspaper some two months back. As it turned out, even that news is being stretched here...Copy+Paste. But then who cares, as long as people of Patna feel that there is a marked improvement in the law and order situation,who cares what the cops eat and how the cops eat.

'Over 200 people sent to prison for life, three punished with death by hanging, and over 80 others sent to prison for a 10 or more.This has happened in less than months in Bihar'

"Since we launched this drive in January, we have had convictions in 620 [criminal] cases," says senior police officer Abhyanand."

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/5237892.stm tells you about the fastest rape trial in India, yes it happened in Bihar.

The police have a long way to go to be at par with the best in our country, but at least these guys moving in the right direction. It is much better than someone writing an article based on incident at Patna police and entitling it as exploits of Bihar police.

But then, (copy +paste)ing too needs some imagination:)
