Irresponsible TV Channels
by Ashish Singal on May 23, 2005 10:30 PM   Permalink

I most definitely and heartily agree with the director of the film 'Jo Bole So Nihaal'. It was very irresponsible and unethical of the media to pass judgements on its own on behalf of the administration and the public. I strongly argue about the rights and responsibilities of media in addressing such delicate issues like bomb blasts. I accuse the media for deliberately giving the bomb blasts a communal face. Also, it actually aggravates me when I hear a TV channel qouting the incident as 'resurgence of Sikh Terrorism' (by Aaj Tak Channel). Using such phrases on a prime news channel of the country shows the callousness and immaturity of certain minds. Whatever the case, TV Channels only make money, the people who suffer are us, the public, and in this case, the owners of the ill-fated film.
