Caught on Tape: Political Party Activists Ransack Indian Newsroom

Indian Express: A MOB of Shiv Sainiks attacked and vandalised the offices of Hindi and Marathi TV news channels IBN7 and IBN-Lokmat in Mumbai and Pune on Friday for what they said was criticism of the party and its chief Bal Thackeray after his recent comments against cricket icon Sachin Tendulkar, returning to its traditional brand of violent politics in the aftermath of its poor show in the Assembly elections. About 25 party activists barged into the common office of the two channels in suburban Vikhroli in the financial capital, armed with baseball bats, cricket stumps and iron rods. They broke glass facades, office equipment and assaulted some employees before fleeing the spot. In Pune, they attacked the outdoor broadcast van of the channels and damaged it, police said.

This mob was trained by Community Activists ACRON and SEIU the Chicago way.
As we all know ACRON and SEIU have gone global.

We need that here – Americans are tired of our Zionist-controlled media.

I like their style. We should do that to the OSM (Obama State Media).

Dibs on Keith Obermann’s spleen.

When I saw the “tease” Wolf Blitzer claimed this was a “right wing” invasion of media – trying to imply (I believe) that it happened in the good old USA – please note I only bypass CNN, but waited to see the film. Can see his bias – guess that’s the transparency we were promised

Terry @ 1:48 “We need that here – Americans are tired of our Zionist-controlled media.

Amazing that even in a story from INDIA, Terry finds a way to bash the Jews. OR, perhaps Terry does not know the real definition of Zionist. I digress.
