Blaming PM Manmohan Singh

Recently Team Anna has released a set of documents accusing 15 cabinet ministers of corruption along with basic documentary evidence. Watching what has been happening raises 2 important questions.

1. Are they right in blaming the PM ?

2. In the aftermath of the accusations why is the media focusing more on the differences in Team Anna rather than the a detailed analysis of the documents ?

 Well the answer to the first question according to me is a resounding No. They have categorically said that they don't think the PM takes bribes but he is complicit when coming to reacting to corrupt activities and the 'coalgate' happened in a ministry directly under his supervision


The second question is really disturbing. Is there some kind of conspiracy behind this or is it just plain media sensationalism. Sometimes I think that the media must be under the payroll of the government they way they highlight the 'differences' rather than what the activists are actually trying to say.
