Shame on Indian Media


A MUST READ...

Dear Editors of HT, TOI, IndianExpress and The Hindu, I got the mail below from a friend of mine and following the unwritten code of conduct, I am forwarding it to my friends but all efforts of people who have been forwarding this mail would go waste if this mail doesn't reach YOU......

Shame on Indian Media??? Really what a shame...

On Tuesday, this news swept across all the news channels 'Sanjay Dutt relieved by court'. 'Sirf Munna not a bhai' '13 saal ka vanvaas khatam' 'although found guilty for possession of armory, Sanjay can breath sigh of relief as all the TADA charges against him are withdrawn' Then many personalities like Salman Khan said 'He is a good person.

these things happens only in india, kick out bloody political system and bring the president rule. as india is a republican country all are independent and if they have political and money power they can do all types of crime and they are going to use the loop holes of our IPC, then escape. None of our politicians are concerned about our farmers only in papers and meetings farmers are backbone of India. Everyday farmers are dying because of their financial problems. center is not responding for them, agricultural minister is spending his time in selection of foreign cricket coach.
Jai hind

Thats what I am saying, You want media to your likening but the owners want the otherway i.e. business. Go to U.K and see Daily Mail, Telegraph, Times or Guardian, and a number of other dailies. They hahve all what you have mentioned, may be more than that. Better you establish your own mdedia house and do the social service.
