Yes, Corby is not Indian?

For folks in India who are not used to keeping/using weapons and witnessing such voilence everyday, this is a huge count.

She's from the GC. Says it all really.

I thought they had more nukes than that.

That is a necessity. Not a luxury as in US (1200+ nukes)

Ha ha...that definitely appears to be one of the more dodgy online news services.... not really Indian mainstream media. I'd say the media is the same everywhere - print/sensationalize news that creates mass hysteria and that is unfortunately what sells. Oz/UK/US are no different. They're all equally dodgy.

If only people reading them had the intelligence not to believe all that is printed...

That would be a big deal for any ordinary decent folk - not just folks in India.

Lend us a couple, willya?

Excuse me? I'm from the UK and don't keep or use weapons and most certainly have never witnessed any violence, let alone everyday, it's a huge count. This is the problem with some posters and media - they appear to believe they are special in some way. The vast majority of the world's population would feel the same as you do. You're not any different from any one else.

Jeez, that one sentence really made my blood boil :curse:

Well said.

..duplicate.

Thank God! You were not armed with machette at that time

Hmmm if it makes you feel any better - don't worry - I know how you feel about some migrants..I also read this site out of curiosity and did not like initially what I saw(!)

It's nice to see the Indian media finally facing the facts instead of deliberately burying them, but you're quoting a completely different story.

My point (relating to the story that I posted) is that the Times of India used the same source material and omitted to mention that the suspects were Indian despite quoting the exact same sentence in which this was clearly stated.

It's the Times of India; a newspaper which has been running since the early 19th Century. Very well established and 100% mainstream. We're not talking about a tabloid here.

Yes, Australia's media goes overboard somestimes too. But the difference with the Corby case is that there were plenty of people in the media who believed that Corby was guilty, and said so very loudly at the time (Janet Albrechtsen, anyone?) The opinion poll is irrelevant unless it was taken by a reputable, independent company (which I am guessing it wasn't). Newspapers are very good at producing public opinion polls which shape public opinion and help to sell newspapers.

Another key point of difference is that public opinion quickly turned against Corby as her dodgy background and repulsive family were slowly dragged into the spotlight. (Personally, I always thought Corby was guilty and I was glad to see her jailed. This is not a minority view). By contrast, I can't imagine the Indian media turning against Indians in Australia. Can you?

You're getting all the quotes and my replies mixed - I replied to WillBlack's post - and "topnews.in" is not mainstream media.

And stop quoting selectively - read my entire post. I also said: I'd say the media is the same everywhere - print/sensationalize news that creates mass hysteria and that is unfortunately what sells. Oz/UK/US are no different. They're all equally dodgy.
