I have always held the Times Of India in the highest esteem as a very credible newspaper. I am a regular viewer of Times NOW due to it being part of the TOI group I presume. However yesterday on the 2nd of October I was really surprised to see blatant misquoting on such a channel. It was with regard to the interview of Greg Chappell.


On being asked whether he would be friendly with Saurav ganguly again, he stated " I may never see him again" which in the context very clearly meant that he could not answer the question of being friends simply because he was not sure if he would ever be able to see Ganguly again. However the channel made it hedline news stating that " Chappell says he will never see Ganguly again' Later this was toned down to Chappell says he may never see Ganguly again, but the playing to the galleries by this otherwise so perfect channel was truly pathetic. Another incident yesterday was when the sports news guy mentioned that " Uthappa was done in by a rank bad decision" which was simply not the case as anyone who saw the match would agree with.


No one was dismayed by the decision , not even Uthappa himself. Yet this uninformed person on Times NOW has the cheek to pass a totally biased and unqualified judgement on the leg before decision of Robin Uthappa. Take care Times NOW , now is the time to watch and edit your news properly if you want to retain your credibility. Dont act like a tabloid.
