Well the rains continue in goa and i haven't seen the sun in 3 days. So i have been watching t.v. amid the power cuts, and yesterday all the news channels were blaring out the misdeeds of one Mr. Rahul Mahajan. I mean giving news is one thing but going on and on about just one piece of crap?!!....'comon do some research, find some interesting bit of news to provide the viewers with....but no they just repeat the same stuff again and again. Aaj tak is the leader of the pack...the ticker on the channel says in bold letters 'Breaking news' and its been like that for 24 hrs!!....they try to sensationalize even the smallest of information and create a controversy where there is none.
This isn't just yesterday only....few months back for 2 straight days the channels wee covering aamir khan's wedding! Who gives a shit about where he is getting marries, which car he comes in, or where he is going for his honeymoon?....the electronic media has become a bunch of clowns...there are no morals left and there is no sense of social responsibility. I really disgusted by these news channels. Can you believe it, star news actually runs a daily show called saas bahu in which they show the goings-on of the saas-bahu serials on star tv!!....what crap!
I must say though that cnn-ibn does show some semblance of social responsibility whilst covering stories. The way they went about covering the reservation protests was really tasteful and done with good intention...lets see how long this responsible behaviour lasts though..
