Rethink
by sampath mohapatra on Jul 30, 2007 02:53 PM

Its hight time that the media in India especially the news channels have a relook at the kind of news that are being dished out to the viewers. In their mad endeavour to increase TRPs they are sensationalising trivial issues. Even in the present case, Haneef has got cult status. He is in the limelight of every channel. Is it justified? Has he won a war for us or has he come back with an Olympic gold. There were 8 persons killed in police firing in Andhra. Where is that news? Were the lives less important? It seems that the news channels are targetted towards a particular section pf the population, the upper middle class who have the buying power and ultimately these eyeballs are sought out by the sponsors? This is a very disturbing and alarming tend in capitalist India? Its time that we ponder over this issue
