By airing phone calls from terrorists, they allowed themselves to be used as propaganda machines to spread their vicious ideology. And NDTV aired statements of <a href="http://www.ndtv.com/convergence/ndtv/mumbaiterrorstrike/video.aspx?id=46235" rel="nofollow">assholes like Gohar Khan</a> that the Indian government killed Hemant Karkare. On the other hand, Al Jazeera never uses the word "terrorist" when <a href="http://english.aljazeera.net/news/asia/2008/11/2008112932042411923.html" rel="nofollow">describing</a> the attackers. When they do, they put it in quotes. I am outraged by what the media did.
