Show Cause – Live India TV

This from IndianTelevision.com

Live India, which ran into controversy after telecasting a sting operation that was subsequently declared as fake, has been issued a showcause notice by the information and broadcasting ministry. "A notice has been issued to the channel to show cause why its licence and permission to uplink should not be withdrawn for carrying out a fake sting and violating the Programme Code as well as the regulations under the Cable TV Networks (Regulation) Act 1995," confirms a senior ministry official, speaking to Indiantelevision.com.

This is close on the heels of the ‘editor’ of this ‘news’ channel doing a Pontius Pilot

The CEO and editor of the Live India television news channel that broadcast a fake sting operation that purported to show the alleged involvement of a teacher in a prostitution racket and set off a riot in the process said the reporter who carried out the investigation was a "criminal and breached the trust".

"The reporter kept me in dark and breached the trust. He is a criminal and a hazard for journalism," Live India editor Sudhir Chaudhary told IANS. "As the head of the channel, I owe responsibility but there is no reason why I should trust him (now). He cheated me, Uma Khurana and Rashmi Singh.

This is what happens when people who make Commander and other such thrillers, end up owning and running news channels.
