Why is our Indian media so stuck to what is happening in UK?
At home we have floods everywhere, a lot of coverage on naxals and Ulfa, starvation deaths, army officer suicide. Instead of giving details of such important stories why our Indian media keeps highlighting news in west?
When Indian film award took place in Britain, not a single uk tv channel even mentioned it in main headline news. what a pity!! We Indians specially our media keep sucking up to west....

Money governs, Rediff is no exception. Thus, a post on carcinogen NNK in tobacco smoke was considered for display only for a day, whilst anything which leads to communal/caste bashings between readers keeps lingering on. More hits for rediff obviously more revenue, the country's social fabric be damned and the damaging divide it leads to does'nt ruffle Rediff's conscience. Responsible journalism by media seems to have got lost behind the garb of 'right to information', sometimes disinformation. Whereas reality with right to information in India is such that if you ask for a revaluation of your childs marks suspecting erroneous grading, you will not even be shown the answersheets, instead a blank 'everything rechecked, everything OK' will be offered to you. Try other bureaucratic avenues and you have the same results. Truth gets mutilated behind what is on display. An Iraqi woman weeping over her child who died due to co-lateral damages of US bombings will not fit the design and would'nt find a slot in Indian media nor the CNNs or the BBCs, neither will outrageous acts like the third degree humiliation in anti-terrorist camps run by US/UK get noticed, where more terrorists are created as much as criminals are created when an innocent languishes in jail on false charges framed, whilst the guilty roam free. Thus even apparently educated muslims, free of madarassa programming now seem to feel profiled and under threat. Anti-terrorism appears to be creating more terrorists.
