You people in media are covering and exaggerating the events that have happened in the recent past in Indian cricket just to benefit your self.
It is real shame on the media for having stooped to such low levels to keep up their TRP's, circulations and hit rates.
Why is it that you are not willing to give enough coverage to other sports, because you belive those will not attract readership and viewership. You people just want to cash upon the psyche of the mass and show as if you are doing something great for the society.
Count the number of articles, television shows that you have written about cricket and the number of articles that you have written about other sports.
Any cricket player who plays even one match becomes a national hero thanks to you guys.
Why dont you highlight and make stars of of other games like hockey, football, chess, shuttle and improve the standard of these games.
The petty mindness and financial considerations of media is the only reason behind the unneccessary hype and making mortal cricket players look like extraordinary and out of the world.
In the last 3 days all channels have been hell bent on showing news about cricket and only cricket, as if there is nothing else in the world to report. I am sure the same will continue for the next few days...
Cricket is after all a game and nothing more, it is not in anyway going to improve the quality of our life or going to address the major issues that our country faces.
Allow this game to be just a game and nothing more...
And you people in the media, wake up... there are more vital burning issues that we face, address them first with priority and act like real journalists without trying to play and benefit on the psyche of the common man...
P.S I dont have anything against media infact I have been a part of one of the country's leading media group. It is the feeling that we are deviating from the real purpose and essence of journalism that pains me.
You are the conscience of the society, please be more responsible and devote your time and energy to things that are of far more significance than on petty issues like cricket...
Wake up... There are better things that you people can do...
