This blog post is in view of recent uproar among public on Indian media's biassed reporting of issues of sensitivity with political bias.I am not going to be specific about any news paper or electronic media as every media outlet today is hired by either right wing,left wing or congress ideology.
I dare to openly say that no mainstream media reports without a hidden agenda which is nothing but their financial gain and every channel and newspaper gets to show that it is the highest viewed/read media because of faulty methods of statistics that are in use today.
What prompted me to write this is the style of reporting that the responsible journalists did in the recently concluded loksabha elections and the way they haven't dared to put truth on the plates of viewer/reader.
Let me just give an example of a series of reports in a national daily that is targetting ruling alliance continuously in what it thinks as saffronising indian education and justifies communising or marxifying or congressifying Indian Education! Why cant they agree that current as well as past system of education is wrong and take no sides so that readers get a neutral view? It's just a co incidence that the man who is part of editorial board of that newspaper happens to be the classmate of a top communist leader...and coincidences often happen coincidentally! If this is the fate of national dailies I don't have to comment on the substandard reporting of regional dailies.
If I were to comment on the ethics of prime time newsreaders of major English news channels I will have to start a new blog! Such is the degree their moral and authenticity of their reports.They are the unquestionable masters of shouting, forcing their points on others, pleading innocence on social media and crying in front of camera to fake innocence.By now You could have guessed the names of journos that I haven't named just to be sane in writing unlike them.
No I am not a journalist and don't intend to be part of that vicious circle in today's world.
I am not asking them to be authentic but they need not be fake. At least the viewers and readers deserve better.
Nation wants to know why media is sold out ?
Can the holy trinity of prime time news answer that? or the top newspapers of the nation run a series of editorials on this?
My mind says that their pens have lost the sharpness of sword and it is definitely the death of Sword that Pen once was!
