It actually highlights the fact that the extent to which the media is influenced by the advertisers is going unnoticed and undocumented. The reality is that this linkage is by far the most important. In all possibilty the anchor did not even know that such a report is to be aired next. Not to mention that the report itself was more of an advertorial of Getz, rather than an objective story. The disconnect is scary. And rather more importantly, More cars>> less space of roads>>more felling to trees to create space>>and the related consequences What is the use of boasting about the "World's largest Eco-friendly CNG bus service" when the number of vehicals on the roads completely decimates the advantage of non polluting CNG.
