Trivial Issues; debates and Media air time occupancy




Past two days in English news media, the air time and news time slots were blocked by “Gay law” amendment on Sec. 377. Celebrations and debate by celebrities shadowed most of the airtime in these channels.
I am little concerned about the media hypocrisy, when an NDTV editor anchor interviewed union law minister immediately after he resumed his office whether you would amend Sec 377. They should realize that what way these amendment affect common man, I agree may this affect 1 out of 10000 citizen of our country. These media should realize 9999 people’s issue being left out by airing all these trivial issues and debates.
I am still searching constrictive media in our country, our democracy still with out functional fourth pillar.
Hope some members of fourth pillar reading…..
