Media turning Mad-Ya...
Electronic media continues to be the most powerful medium to reach out to people.Its got to be precise,in your face and hard hitting,although in reality its anything but that.News channels need to be more sensible rather than sensitive.
Look at the footage the news channels showered on Taslima Nasreen.What has Bangladesh given India other than cross border infiltration and Taslima Nasreen?.Both are headaches of the first order.Is Taslima Nasreen so important that you turn her into breaking news and keep running it the whole day?.Some channels even reported the time she fled from a particular place.why didn't they tell us about her dress,food and the size of her shoes?.
The media behaves like prostitutes by letting bollywood stars promote their movies.Isn't there anything better to report?.The bar is slipping by the day.
When Karan Johar directs a new movie on infidelity NDTV gets him to talk on infidelity on a one hour show.Now people will listen to problems like infidelity from people like Johar and their only qualification is a movie.Travesty of justice one would say.
Every interview Narendra Modi gives eventually follows with questions about Godhra and the riots.Lalu Prasad Yadav is never asked about his multi crore fodder scam neither is Sonia Gandhi questioned on Bofors.Look at the number of reels you dedicated to Nandigram but does the media even bother to ask about Modi's jyotigram electricity scheme.The Indian media calls itself secular.That i believe is a canard below contempt.
Media should be a projection of everyday life.It should be a spotless mirror which projects reality.They should stop concocting news and promoting yellow journalism.No wonder the government is contemplating on getting a media bill passed.If that happens the media will surely be gagged and it will have itself to be blamed because of the fact that it misused the freedom given to it.
Journalism is about courage and conviction not about glitz and glamour.
Those masks of pseudo secularism need to go and hard truths should replace them.
