Interestingly, neither Prabhudesai’s post nor Prudent Media on its television news channel have run a story on the attempted bribery. === JC's questions: Where did he make this claim? At Cafe Prakash or some Bar & Restaurant. Are all 'such' claims reportable in the press? Are bribes or attempted bribes not notifiable to the police? How did Sandesh differentiate between a bribe and a genuine gift? What was implied as the Quid pro Quo? Were only journos of Prudent Media selected for the "bribe"? If so, Why? If others journos were also targeted, how did they react? Have they too 'claimed' it ....or merely 'pocketed' the offerings? Follow-up question IF the preceding is in fact true, Did Sandesh Prabhudesai or any of his staff receive any favours or Diwali (or Christmas/Ganesh) gifts from any previous Goa government minister? Surely, Mayabhushan, as a good journo, asked all these questions? If so ...will he please advise us of the answers he received? jc _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ _/ _/ tambdimati: the Goa review is a community blog of original _/ art, writing, music, news and commentary from and about the _/ smallest state in the subcontinent. check out the newest _/ member of the Goanet family daily at _/ http://www.tambdimati.com. _/ _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/
