If we happen to see major news channels during these days, we could realize they are playing spoil sport or deep frying the issues which are least and trivial to progressive society. May be this fourth pillar wants to show it’s mighty by putting petty issues to inefficient politicians’ mouth and paint the picture they wish to.
Media could have played constructive role during election campaign of politicians, could have reviewed the performance of politicians and the parties. This could have helped their viewers to take informed decisions. I assume this should be role of fourth pillar of our democracy. Incidentally Dr. Manmohan singh rightly pointed this in an interview to a news channel on response to a question why personalities being attacked in this election do we run out of issues, Mr Singh precisely returned this to that editor said this media which selectively picks these speeches added that he had compared performance of UPA and NDA in the same speech and at end he had criticized Mr Advani, PM in waiting. It is the media which 99% of speech and picked the last part of the speech.
Instead 90% time slot occupied by discussing and debating Varun Gandhi, Lalu’s remark, Amar singh spat with Mulayam singh, Sanjay dutt remarks and Karunanidhi on LTTE, Viko remark on LTTE etc…and other 10% on dissecting IPL,
As requested by former President Dr A P J Abdul Kalam media should have done performance appraisal and wealth creation of these candidates and parties, This might have contributed a lot in our nation building processes.
Hope some of my Media friends are reading this….
