The fact that news channels sensationalize and have a SLIGHT tendency to over exaggerate...i cant emphasise the word slight enough.... is well..... kinda like saying Bush occassionaly has his foot in his mouth.....
with the departure of those oh-so loved K, saas bahu...or whatever u call them-serials.... people, apparently have found themselves with a lot of free time in their hands! ( yeah even i was surprised to find out that people actually watched them.... ritualisticaly..... and not even to laugh at the miraculous births and rebirths of characters, nor at the constant stream of affairs and affairs in affairs or the perpetual bawling of one of the central characters of this circus called _______ *fill in the blanks with an appropriate name*) these people thrilled to bits with their newly found freedom, might turn, albeit with good intentinos of keeping abreast with national events, to our "premiere news channels" only to find a slightly different kind of entertainment there...... some of the most ridiculously inane breaking news captions would greet you when u turn on the "idiot box".... did u SEE the pictures?? all i say is....I rest my case...... sint the one abuot rahul and his food habits just brilliant! :)
on a more serious note though.... the insensensitivity and lack of discretion shown by the media, though at times justified by quoting the rather cliched "Its a dog eat dog world out there", is rather disturbing..... not to go into details but the coverage of the aarushi case and its subsequent dramatisation to the point of competing with those very same soaps that have been so graciously discontinued is...well.... rather invasive and hurtful to say the least...
all the media people reding this blog *yeah right i wish!* would probably have steam coming out of every nook and cranny... but let me appease them.... im not saying that all that they do is rubish! they've done some amazing work and these blemishes should not take away from that..... We the People, Big Fight and the like are good endeavours at helping address the issues affecting society at large..... but at the same time... you have to admit.... some of the things they show truly are... just plain stupid! i think ill stick to friends and seinfeld thank you very much, what say?!
