REDIFF YOU HAVE TO BE BLAMED. THE MEDIA IS EQUALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR BLOWING THINGS OUT OF PROPORTION. MEDIA DOESN'T WORK IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE POLICE OR DOESNT DO ANY RESEARCH BEFORE PUBLISHING DISTORTED FACTS IN MANY CASES.
FOR EXAMPLE, IF THEIR IS FLOOD AND PEOPLE HAS DIED DIFFERENT TV CHANNELS, NEWSPAPERS, ETC. GIVE DIFFERENT FIGURES OF CASUALTIES AND ULTIMATELY THE GOVT. & POLICE HAVE THEIR OWN RECORDS WHICH IS NOWHERE TO THIS.

Mr.Millionaire, I agree with your view partly. The Media should concentrate more on giving positive news of happenings around. Negative News should not be blown out of proportion. Many young children are watching TV, etc. and are well aware. The media have channelised itself into a negative channel to have higher TRPs, etc. If you have negative side of a society then equally you a positive side of it also, this media should remember and highlight.

True that media is most important contributor for this erosion of values. Simply because there is foreign money invested, they want Anchors be dressed like non-Indians - coats, suits, pants, skirts, everything but Indianised dress like Sarees or Salwar suit. Thanks to DD, they are better in this and are not copying private channels. Secondly, most private channels want some news every minute and they start chasing news, exaggerate some non-existant issue - whether it is child fallen in borewell, or a dog sleeping with a pig, or any nonsense. They keep flashing this as all-important till they get some other nonsense. The news cravy situation should change to getting worthy news for public. One entire day one channel will make exclusive research of all lovers points in the city, give the road map, show each spot where a guy is doing nonsense with a girl - don't know if the channel has managed actors to sit there giving a good look to the coverage! But such things do a great harm to younger groups particularly teenagers. What do the Channels want? Money at the cost of Nation? Why can't the government monitor such things? Channels cannot flourish by money alone, they need a strong country with them.
