Recently on NDTV,there was a debate about the News channel and their gory stupidity. There was this CEO of a Newsprint,throwing an example ,to explain the nature of the so called Media. "There was this scorpion,which wanted to cross the river,so it sat on top of the frog and told it to swim across the river.the scorpion as its nature to kill everything at site,stings the frog.Naturally the scorpion also starts to drown,along with the frog.So the frog asks,why did u sting me? scorpion says "It is my nature,there is no other reason!!".
Well if this how a CEO of the Media group has to say,then what kind of reponsibility are they liable for? Moral of the story.the scorpion also dies,cos it was not able to curb its nature. The Media also is gonna suffer,if it's not gonna excercise restraint.
They have lost the credibility factor now, since they just report wat ever information that they can get their hands on ...Does a girl trying to commit suicide,make headlines? she is not commmiting suicide for a selfless cause,but for her own desires.What does this gotta do with the people at large.
If this is related to a well known family,put this in the Entertainment news and not on Headlines...
I was one of the Idiot's watching this,cos all channels were carrying the same damn story.Pathetic,is the state in which the News & Media is heading towards....
One more thing is the catchy headlines,they concoct "Gere out of GEAR!!" what the heck does that mean?
Media has the freedom to put the news wat ever it may be!! But they need to restrain themselves from exploiting that freedom,else we will have to find the hard way ,the cost to keep that freedom,free.
