[icernet] Real imitates reel

[Arul Selvan]

  The US-led invasion of Iraq could be compared to the war games sold to 
gaming freaks or the Star Wars movies that Hollywood churns out from 
time to time. And that's what the news channels are all focusing their 
energies on. But the story about the launch of a revamped Star News is 
more like the successful soaps that the network's flagship Hindi 
entertainment channel Star Plus beams - full of twists and turns and 
daily doses of surprise. At a time when the competition was almost 
certain they had Star in a corner and that their screen would go blank 
on April 1 (after NDTV's agreement with Star News ceases to exist), the 
Rupert Murdoch company pulled out not one but several aces over a period 
of two days to buy itself some breathing space.
