A TV anchor's virtual justification of Epstein's sexual crimes is the ultimate low in the annals of Indian journalism. NDTV managing editor Padmaja Joshi argued with people on her panel that while Epstein was a paedophile, his primary job was of a power broker. Even more telling at where the Indian media is can be found on channels like NDTV. He was an abuser and paedophile himself and he also provided children and women to be abused by the powerful men he worked with. Nothing demonstrates how low the Indian media has fallen that this sort of parcelling of the scandal that is currently rocking the world.
