Alka- I sometimes have the feeling that the media is running short of news and has to resort to cheap tactics to garb the attention of the viewers. I have of late noticed the degradation of reporting.

Media has freedom of expression but sometimes they do not know where to stop. More often than not they are seen poking microphones in to the faces of victims of relatives and asking provoking questions. What do they exactly want to achieve?

I believe that media has a huge and important role to play in the society and need to maintain decorum.

And we as viewers need to be able to distinguish beetween news and bull.

I don’t know how anyone can not find fault with the Home Minister for changing clothes three times in three hours even as he was getting report after report of serial blasts that were taking lives minutes away from him. As he admitted the other day, he is in that chair only because of the “blessings of the leader”.

Amit, I have read your post. You have to watch India TV. They walk away with the cake when such things happen. Tanmoy, kudiyan to sabhi ki (mera matlab hai male species) weakness hoti hai. To ye Lt.-General kaise exception ho sakata hai? But taking someone forcibly is below dignity. I wish he get punished severely. Prudent Indian, of course you know who is more dangerous. I wish this time Mr. Patil is just plain lucky because elections are near and ruling party might not want to remove him because that means they are giving opposition something to talk about and admitting failure that an incompetent person was heading such a sensitive department. Paradox, Its interesting to have a different perspective.

Its the media which is trivializing the issue by focusing on the person’s change of attire. In the whole picture what consequence is it of? Does changing clothes or not changing clothes an indicator a person’s efficiency? If he would have had a sip of coffee, they could have made an issue of him having coffee when he needed to demonstrate leadership qualities. The media knows the Indian mindset of missing the woods for the trees and encashes it ceaselessly.

Hi,Alka…that’s indeed what our hon’ble ministers do at such times. And,what about the media?Do read the post I read, immediately after seeing the news on TV. I was thoroughly disgusted at the way even a disaster gets commercialized.
