...franchises, whose co-owners include Lachlan Murdoch and Bollywood actress Preity Zinta, will compete in the newly-conceived Indian Premier League, which is ostensibly owned by Indian cricket's governing body. Sony Television has paid around $1 billion for the exclusive rights to televise 10 years of IPL tournaments, the first of which starts April 18 and goes for six weeks. While it's probably advisable at least to try not to sound like a self-righteous fuddy-duddy when examining this enterprise, it's all but impossible for anyone with the faintest appreciation of cricket's traditions...

...government had to take them over, a move it would love to undo, he said. Peskov at least doesn't deny that new government-owned media hews closely to the administration's script. It's a natural state of affairs, he says. "Sky Channel never criticizes Rupert Murdoch," he said. "And ABC never criticizes Mickey Mouse." But he says that the smaller regional television stations that are independent are highly critical. "If you monitor that press, you will understand that this is the freest country in the world," he said, with a short laugh...
