It is attitude like this, which is the real problem of modern india. 'Chalta Hein', or 'Why bother ?'. Well, I do bother when a media with such popularity is doing injustice to the duties of it. Every media has some bit of duty of social responsibility (Its no Law, but something which was practiced in the world,till a decade or so ago. and Many medias are still managing to continue do it, and still running a profittable business).
Do you have a problem if third-rate pornographic contents are sold in masses at the doorsteps of schools ? Would you still say 'Why bother ? those who dont want to buy wont buy, and those who want to buy would buy. If you are not interested, just ignore it!' ? I am sure, you would not mind saying it.
Consider selling marijuana is not illegal anymore. Would you mind if its sold in masses across the country ? does it have an impact on the future of the nation ?
Its the same principle: My concerns are not just about me not getting the right news or finding wrong news. My concerns in general are towards the decreasing civic senses of media. Rediff is one of them. Times of India is almost there.
I practice what i preach, and I will continue to raise my voice against anything that I would see as a potential issue to the society. If you have a problem with my stance, let me ask you the same question. Why do you bother about my stance ? Just ignore it ! You cant, can you ?
