Media('s) Controversies

I thought of writing this long back. But after yesterdays "We the People" episode in NDTV I think it assumes more importance.

Kushboo's statement and its aftermath
Ganguly ever continuing contreversies

Let us take these two things and analyse who is really responsible for both these cases

First Kushboo told something about AIDs awareness and about premarital sex. The intended message was that people should be safe against this killer disease and she was giving the right message across to the people. But what the media did was read through the lines and misinterpreted it and started to rise a big issue out of it.

Now to the Ganguly's ever continuing controversies, I attribute the main reason being the Indian media. What a great media which said that Ganguly wanted to open the Test innings when it had just a video of Ganguly and dravid having a chat with the coach.

My friend who is a educated guy said me that "dravid didnt allow Ganguly to open the innings" after seeing the news over a channel. If he can make such things out of these report what about the illeterates in India.

Media .... take care u r addressing a billion people who are all different and dont try to sell urself by such cheap tactics.

Now that everything is being analysed under microscope doesnt mean that media can write anything they want, Intrepret things as they want to make news interesting so that their paper sells or their TRP ratings increases.

To barkha of NDTV, U conducted a good show but when you are conducting such a show you should be unbiased which you were not. Whenever there was a complaint that media is responsible for such things u made them shut up and focused more on things which can make the show a big flop. you were always trying to blame someone for everything. In many cases things happen and noone can be blame for that. And in many cases media should be blamed for making things look big even if is police raiding a private hotel or some actor kissing some actress.

Media has a national responsibility .A wrong news can change the world overnight.
