Dear CNN IBN
I am aware that running a 24 hour news channel is difficult. I am sure your employees are all working hard at ensuring the highest standards of accuracy and reportage. Which ensures that your channel always brings to light news and information hitherto unknown to the populace. Obviously, if you say something, it must be true. No matter how ridiculous it might be, or how much it goes against known facts. Such as saying Chettinad is in Chennai.
Which is why, when others no doubt will criticise you and attempt to ‘correct’ this ‘glaring error’, you can always count on my support.
Truly,
Chandrachoodan Gopalakrishnan

If you want to interrogate somebody and get the truth out of them, no need to physically torture them. Tie them to a chair in a room with a television showing nothing but CNN IBN and take away the remote control.
Come back after 24 hours… their secret will be out in no time.

Stupi, anything 30KM from Delhi is not all that important to be accurate. Uh ho! That Mumbai is there. But they are too busy to notice all these. Kolkotta? Who cares? Delhi hi hai India, na?
It really is pathetic and these are the guys who are supposed to be 5th or 6th or nth pillar of democracy – without an iota of accuracy and sense of responsibility.
