Bad Show by Media in Mumbai Terrorist Attacks

Mumbai, India was a terrorist target on the 26th of November 2008 where multiple locations were hit and which resulted in around 200 people dead and twice as many injured due to bullets, grenades and bombs. This may have been as an action hollywood thriller except for the fact that this happened in real. But perhaps in trying to cover the events live, the media did outdo what it was supposed to do. Showing what action to save the situation was being taken is what everyone was interested in knowing across the country and the world. But showing commandoes going in from on entrace or showing commandoes landing on top of the building from a helicopter and the like in fact resulted in directly on indirectly helping the terrorists to shift their locations or get alerted with the type of rescue was a spoilsport. In fact such activities should have been barred to help the armed forces, commandoes and police do a better job. The terrorists were somehow informed of what was happening by some persons watching the television live broadcasts. Let the media learn when to censor and when not. This was a situation like broadcasting live a RAPE taking place. Was it not RAPE ? Rape of the security of the country and its innocent people and innocent tourists ? Better watch your step dear Media Men. You did a good job but overdid it. Each of the channels. Hope we never have a situations like this again.
