I am writing my first blog and sorry to say that I had to start on a criticizing note about the Indian English Media that runs 24/7. The concept of reporting news was stareted in early 14th century but ofcourse it was considered most primitive when compared to todays print media or electronic media. But one would say that the objective of reporting news is most cheap and rather disgusting in today's scenario which was not found to be seen in those early primitve days. Ofcourse commercialism cannot be ignored by any means but commercialism at any cost makes one feel very very unhappy. The best example I would give is the Indian English Media which runs 24/7 at the cost of viewers patience and viewers peace of mind.
Why is say at Viewers patience is simply because of their NON-STOP BREAKING NEWS/FLASH NEWS at every 10 minute interval and
Why I say at the cost of Viewers peace of mind is because of some of the debates they conduct at the cost of India's cultural diversity and some anti-national debates.
Let us analyse the first part-Viewers Patience
Come on no channel on earth can have breaking news at such a faster rate like that of Indian News channels. Not even BBC or CNN. Wait! I am not praising Indian news channels. Take a break. Before I complete this partilcuar sentence I am sure there would have been atleast 2-3 breaking news which I would have missed since I am writing this blog. Anything is a news for some of the reporters but as far as Indian news channels are concerned especially those of English news channels any news is a breaking news.
If a cricketer or cine actor or a politician sneeze/cough/etc heavily it becomes a breaking news. And immedieatly a panel is formed that evening to debate that particular action. Now, in the name of resposnibilty these media do not leave anything and make it as an issue out of nothing.
Now it has become a norm for these media to rake up/create any issue before the release of any Hindi alias Bollywood movie. No movie is seeing the release without any controversie. The most recent is the movie "My name is Khan".
So cheap so low...........
And the MEDIA conclude by saying as they are the most moral citizens on earth.
Now let me come to the second part- Viewers peace of mind.
Yesterday there was a debate on an accused named Nalini who was one of the accused in killing my former prime minister Shri. Rajiv Gandhi.
The objective of the news channel is to give that accused the right to freedom or rather conducting such a debate whether accused of such nature can be freed or not.
One channel started the debate by saying
"The spirit of clemancy for Nalini"
The other channel was even more disgusting and painful
"A long wait"
Now consider that such a brutal murder- A high profile killing had taken place in any other country no news channel would conduct such a disturbing debate that would ask for their citizen's peace of mind. But in India, the news channels never bother of such noble thoughts. "MY DEAR BROTHERS AND SISTERS OF INDIA! PLEASE THINK A WHILE WHERE ARE WE HEADING TO?"
These media will report any police action as Human rights violation. And for every human rights activists and social activists every police man should not have Latthi or Pistol in their hands. Instead they should be carrying the message of peace and start giving roses to theives, dacoits or vagabonds so that the culprit(s) may transform into a very noble person for the society. Please apply the law of probability here.
I can justify the above statement in on such news reported by the famous Indian english media which described the Mumbai police very recently(say 2-3 months back) as "Mumbai cops violating all human rights". The reason for such description is because the Mumbai cops caught 3-5 thieves and they took one name board and wrote on that board as "Thives" and hanged those board on every theif's neck. This was captured by the media and prompted them to describe them in such fury. Moreover, the media was showing those thieves who were crying for help and stared telling those cops "Kill me instead of humilating like this". Please do not laugh, these were the words of thieves and media is actually doing the sympathy creation for those theives.
Is this the way BBC and CNN runs. The class of BBC can never be matched by these media. And above all every year these news channel will first give award to themselves as "The most best news channels" and then conduct a function "Indian of the year" award.
My dear Indian citizens please do think and decide yourself what needs to be done to stop these hypocrtaes.
I conclude by saying that Politicians are far far better than any of these media.
If only politicians unite these media will stop all these nonsense.
