India-Pakistan: The media turns up the heat



Tensions between India and Pakistan are matched by heated rhetoric on the news. Plus, radio silence in Burundi.


On The Listening Post this week: As tensions between India and Pakistan rise, as does the heated rhetoric on the news. Plus, in Burundi, the media is silenced amid political unrest.
India-Pakistan pressures elevated 
With tensions along the Indo-Pak border high, media in both countries have a big story to cover. The airwaves are abuzz as the media rhetoric on both sides gets ratcheted up higher and higher. It doesn't make the job of diplomats and governments any easier.
