News should be Regulated !

Media has got highly powerful status in today's world. In India they are self proclaimed Gods. At least they want to think on those lines. But it is becoming hazy. The topics media focuses now-a-days seem to be more retard than the correspondent interviewing Khali and his wife.

Media has got responsibility, a role in society, a presence that supposed to mean something. With news channels on the rise, the search for TRP is on the rise. With invasion of privacy, media is all guns blazing going for the kill.

No survivors left at the end of the battle. The battle for the TRP ... the ultimate priced thing thats so god damn virtual and so god damn feeble that it means nothing to people who get affected by the tyranny of these blood sucking monsters.

At this point in time, one thinks that the Government should regulate news channels. The story covered, the qualty of content presented and the accountability of the information given out. People won't buy your cookies unless they contain marujuana. This is what the media has been thinking. Pricky intent leading to manipulation of more intensive subjects. News channels soon will hire people that can make news. Produce news. They will exhaust out of topics. One fine day they might even apologise for "no more news" ... where are the old days ?

I was at my Nani's place where there was reception ... but only of National Television ... National News. Though they did not cover the second innings of *all* the IPL matches, but the news showed had a sense of purpose. A sense of maturity. These sissy news channels show "Doors of the heaven", "Arjuna's Dog in Kashmir", "Hanumahan on the wall", "Chris Angel performing something weired"(as always ... that too downloaded from You Tube ... sad ... very sad).

We have more things in the world that affect you and me rather than seeing Khali pumping iron. But no, khali is khali ... the mahabali ... children love him ... he loves children. Goddamn posers. Posers in true sense. I mean, you can see it for once, but then you run the story every 2 hours for 4 weeks ... make it obsolete ... to the point when everyone stops giving a damn about how Khali first proposed her wife !

On more personal note, I hate the current situation. I hate the Indian news channels. They don't make any sense. They don't have any sense of responsibility. They are not mature. They are not accountable. (Adnan Orkut Murder Case). It is inhuman. It should be regulated.

Although i have little idea about all the shows you talk about in here, but i can relate to it. our Pakistani news channels are nothing else but over-hyped glamorized gore! and the irony is that we have only 3/4 entertaintment channels to compensate the hype that 40 News channel create.
That sometimes let me wonder if we have anything nice going on here? something? anything? No. news means bad things.
and poor us, we're doomed to *entertain* ourselves by watching news, blood, murders and catastrophes!

You're so right about the repetition, in the end you want to blow away the screen! with 40 channels showing the same footage one millionth time! I have already ceased watching tv, for there is nothing worth watching there.

Its the first time i've visited your blog, i will try to keep a track from now on, what you write is surely insight.

keep writing
