the disgusting indian media
recently...there was a news story...which got 45 hours of live coverage from zee news......around 25 hours of live coverage from star news (apparently they got 'inspired' by zee news)...and rest i dont know....
you must be thinking this is surely mumbai blasts...or something else as important... but no!...u r wrong...its the PRINCE story. a small boy who fell in a borewell...and who was rescued after 50 hours. if you are thinking...so what??...what is my point??...please stop reading...coz i wont make much sense from now on too!!
wat kind of freaking media gives 45 hours of live coverage to such an incident... thre was no other news on the channel except this one... israel is bombing lebanon...100's r dying...so what??...
in a country like singapore where deaths are rare... and they have a population crisis..such news is ok....but in a place like india...where so many people die of stupid reasons everyday...y did india suddenly become so sensitive towards PRINCE! and its not just that they covered this news so much...its the kind of stuff they were showing which really disgusted me...they got people(from some singing competition show) to sing songs...all kinds of devotional songs...and the children were more busy trying to showcase their talents than actually singing with there heart for the small kid....
so on one side they want to show they are sensitive...on the other side its glaring how insensitive they are!!
and its not just this(zee news)...star news and aaj tak and also india tv (how can neone forget them) have crossed all limits of disgusting journalism...with all irrelevant and useless news stories...and going overboard with them. amongst all this only 1 channel stands out for its quality...and thats ndtv 24x7. it has good shows ( big fight..we the people)...great discussions and relevant stuff! they do not show vulgar news like other channels...i want to praise them for their effort!

Well, you know what, the coverage saved the chaps life at the end didn't it. I dont think the local authorities would have done much without it. I mean, I did keep off the news channel during that while... (Couldnt tolerate the news story for more than 5 minutes) but at the end, yes, they saved a life and yes, thats more valuable than the crappy job of reporting that they usually do. Those who want or need serious news go to a business news channel anyway.
