The art economising truth is best learnt from newsmen...
Check the NDTV and CNN-IBN websites today to see how. Both the news channels have tried to steal the thunder from each other over the Indian News Television Awards hosted by Indiantelevision.com.
In doing so, the writers of these plugs have tried to browbeat the reader into believing how their channel emerged virginally supreme in sullied waters of television news.
Check out the header of the CNN-IBN story
'CNN-IBN stole the show at the Indian News Television Awards Wednesday night at Delhi’s Hotel Ashoka where it won 9 awards including the Best English News Channel Award.'
And this is the NDTV header
'NT awards: NDTV India steals the show' (the story claims they've won 14 awards)

CNN-IBN, if you include the mother-ship i.e. the TV-18 group has also won 14 awards, matching up to NDTV babalog bandwagon that includes NDTV profit, NDTV INDIA and NDTV 24x7.
