Prince of India - ????
by Sanket on Jul 24, 2006 12:56 PM

I am quite happy as finally the life of the kid was saved. But I was extremelly dissappointed with the way Indian media handled the whole topic. Today Zee news and Star news are nothing but an 'Entertainment Channels' than being a news channel. I respect NDTV who did highlight the news but didn't raise it to be a national issue. Zee news commercialising the whole thing and harping on the point about how instrumental it has been to save the kid's life is ridiculous. People like Raakhi Sawant who would do anything for a publicity stunt calls up Zee and singing a song made the issue extremelly frustrating. It would have been apt if the channel would have focussed more on the bomb blasts victims families who have lost their bread earners to ensure atleast their lives are economically stabilised. But I guess all of 'us' are so heartless that we have already forgotten the incidence and have discovered the 'mamta' in all of us in the latest 'crispy' news of Prince. Why can't Zee / Star come together and take onus of releasing some responsible news. I honestly feel media should take up more serious issues else more families would want their kids to fall in such borewells to get publicity.
