john howard: an exposé...

shared by straight point on Monday, July 05, 2010

fellow bloggers kartikeya of 'a cricketing view'... soulberry of 'the cricket watcher's journal' and achettup of 'short of a length' have covered, dissected and exposed the hypocrisy of howardgate and how it is managed and reported in media that there is nothing much left to add...

as usual... largely bcci 'the mother of all cricketing ills' is the focal point of all the venom that has been spit in press and media in the name of journalism... you do not have to be a rocket scientist to see the concentrated 'efforts' they are putting up one after another is coz of hurt that has caused their ego to take over senses...

now my question is... if one is stooping to the level of calling president of one of the associate board 'a buffoon' and another calls journalist 'a tabloid tv jock' and tries to stuff words in his mouth to please his argument... resorting to name names unapologetically... arguing like either you are on my side or you are wrong... using media to vent venom instead of airing well rounded views... thereby abusing the power of media because they can... then with what face and credibility they are asking icc or more accurately bcci to behave...?

so to me this howardgate has exposed many 'experts' and their so called 'insight' to me... since they are in no mood to listen as slithering ego and anger has blocked all voices of reasoning... i must thank icc and bcci for the exposé...

Yep, it's very much what you might call an own goal for CA and was heading that way as soon as his nomination was announced.
