Hi friends!! As you all know a sting operation is a deceptive task designed to catch a person committing a crime.I think its really good as we become aware of what the persons we idolize or are considered ideal human beings are actually in real life.Although its invading privacy but it helps us to know the real faces of these so called ideal people especially politicians.I support such sting operations if its done keeping in mind the public interest and not for the sake of cheap publicity and TRP grabbing.Are you in favor or against of such sting operations undertook by the media??

Maybe I will prefer that media sting operations in your country rather than in our country who make abuse of their powers for political and other injustice reasons. The media here in us are more believing however there are some who have conspiracies too so in effect if the government will not clean down and be loyal to their service, what more the subordinates.. many people here will suffer for no reason and the effect of their wrong doings and even the coming generation might cover this problems too..

Hi!! Yeah if they try to expose the bad people in the society then its well and good but doing it just to malign someone's image is unacceptable.I remember a sting operation where the media had sent a girl to meet Gujarat's chief minister Narendra Modi and the girl/woman started making physical advances to him but since the minister is a nice person he immediately shooed away the lady but the sting was totally uncalled for and they were trying to malign the image of a nice person.The media needs to understand their responsibility while doing such operations.
