Its their business machan, there were many instances where media capitalized many situation, for example whenever a bomb blast occurs, Sirasa is kinda pre-located around. And this way they broadcast it first and they broadcast scenes normally you shouldnt through TV. Media should know that some viewers may find those scenes disturbing.Before this incident Lasantha was warned, he had many cases, for me actually my life is important than anything, journalists do have the risk, any government will stand against the people who criticize them beyond limits, because a government is composed of people, even though Ranil yells at this he too killed young guys at Batalanda, you can see all this was a political game, who knows if Lasantha was killed by UNP or some other party like LTTE (less chance of course, yet possible) to put forward some unrest among people against the government.There are things called military secrets. The public doesnt have to know them, government transactions even should not go to the public since we are in a war situation, though the victory is very much iminent, we still have some way to go. If what the government does goes to the LTTE that might be a threat. We still know many Tamils still living among us, and sinhala LTTE cadres are on the loose...they might make use of them..Lasantha was someone who blindly passed his limits I guess. In the democratic stream there's some rule about one's freedom, I learned this back in 1995, you can take some stick and circle it freely around u at ur arm's distance, however this length should end at the nose tip of the nearby person.Media freedom is not reporting each and everything. Media freedom is not broadcasting each and every crap they can find. Those people who yell on behalf of media forget one important factor, media today have a huge competition,they have the need of giving something more, it is the money that drives them towards n]breaking limits, the greediness for money actually killed Lasantha. As a father and a belowed husband he should have thought twice. I am against man slaughter. But Lasantha's own greediness made him die, no point of fingering at anyone. I am telling u all this in Buddhist perspective. Media is a money driven thing, did u think they love the public? but of course anyone is a hero on the stage, anyone is a saint.Yes sirasa may have waited for some time tactically, (did sirasa broadcast what the president had to say to the nation- I dont know) when the islandwide attention was growing towards government's victory, sirasa basted. What would happen, I mean what would u say if siarasa was attacked the same moment kilinochchi was captured?Why do the call president mahinda rajapaksha only while calling Mr. Prabhakaran? why should they respect prabhakaran?After this incident they have placed huge billboards everywhere.... api wetilath ne, wattannath be etc. Of course they got their insurance claim as planned, hardware was moved to some other safe place, may be UNP guys who planned this adviced sirasa to.Gota didnt have better clues to point his finger at sirasa, of course since they drove forces towards this victory they can point out a body that supports LTTE.<img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/D.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D" data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
