When was the last time you saw an hour of some sensible news on TV? ummmmmm..well you will not be able to find an answer even after reading this complete post.The other day during IPL season 2 I saw a news on TV which inspired me to write this post. They were talking about Shilpa Shetty taking revenge from SRK because he had thrown her from top of a building in the movie bazigaar. And now they were relating to a match between Rajasthan Royals(Shilpa's team) and KKR(SRK's team). All this while I was wondering where do people get these stupid ideas from? I am pretty sure creative writing back in school doesn't help them.
"Rakhi ka swaymwar" or whatever it is is surely a news on the news channels these days. WHY? is my question. Do we have lesser issues to deal with that the media is busy showing what is going on in some stupid shows on other TV channels?
India TV is yet another sensational news channel. I do not watch it but it appears as if they have cameras on every street of the nation, even in Taliban. Everyday they get some sensational news and create a havoc among us. Particle accelerator created such confusion last year and all the news channels were happy to announce that they were the 1st to create awareness(confusion) of the Armageddon. After this news a law came up that a governing body can cancel a channel's license if it shows news which is unfit for the audience but this law can be used by the government to hide all its wrong doings.
The only news channels which do not deviate from their purpose of news showing are the business news channels as they have stock markets to discuss on the week days and weekends goes in analyzing the week and predicting the next week.
I just want to end this post by saying won't it be better if the media people used their own brain before showing the news to the audience and it would be better if the government give the tag of entertainment news channels to some of the channels.
