Legacy of Indian Media

Press or News Media, the way we should address it now a days is considered to be the Fourth Pillar or Democracy.  But, looking at Indian Media it so feels like it is another Ponzi Drama Organization bringing in one or another distasteful Ponzi news to us.  Today they show what gets them better TRP; why better TRP, because better TRP means more advertisement business as better TRP would mean better viewer reach.

Lets take a look at the recent news that they have been covering - 

1. Congress demanding Fair and reasonable treatment to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau

2. Untimely death of first female superstar from Indian movies

What Indian media covered in the above news is the way Narendra Modi government gave a cold shoulder to the Canadian counterpart, but then failed to cover WHY? Interesting because that WHY was not as sensational news as it would ensure that Narendra Modi government is actually applauded for that.  Until the Canadian as well as International media started covering it from the perspective of Failed visit of the Canadian PM.  

Yes, the visit of Canadian PM to India was treated in the manner it should have been treated.  Canadian PM stood with forces demanding Khalistan and the forces that would want to divide India.  More so, he had mentioned that the protest by the Khalistan supporters was in-line with the Canadian Laws....Did I hear that as political appeasement of the vote bank that now matters a lot in Canadian politics?  

What Mr. Justin Trudeau missed that sovereignty of India is prime for Indian Prime Minister and he as well as Indian citizens would never tolerate anyone who supports separatists on this or any other land.  The treatment meted out was perfect and had the right effect with the World media excluding Indian media was actually saying absolutely the same - "Failed India Visit of Canadian Prime Minister".  Only the Indian media was engaged in shaming the government and broadcasting the demand of Congress leaders on giving adequate honor to the Canadian Prime Minister.  Well, adequate or not is not sure, but he got appropriate honor that aligned with his policy towards Khalistan and Khalistanies. 

On death of the famous yesteryears star from Indian movies, the Media - one and all, actually were engaged in voyeuristic, ghoulish and insensitive coverage. The way they handled the overall news and the way they blew it out of proportion is really insane.  The representations, the language and the tone used was really one of the worst reporting standard that I have ever witnessed that too involving a news on death.  I am surprised the amount of research they did, the amount of conspiracy theories they came out with and the amount of versions of the same case went out as a story.  It was sounding as if every of the news anchor is narrating some piece of drama story.

By all the perspectives I looked at or pondered over the two stories, it just reaffirmed to me that the Indian Media is going down the trend of responsible organizations and are headed to make the mulla by hook or crook.  Moreover, they sound more to be the political mouth piece of one or political outfit or political party.

Most of the Media groups have lost their creditability in current context as most of them have forgotten to praise the good efforts of the government and are inclined to highlight only the misses, or the negative points, even if there is NO merit in them.  

Another typical case is of the petrol prices in South Asia where Business Standard is still stating that the petrol prices are costliest in India. Now this is a clearly a false statement as Indian media missed the bus that there are other sites also that provide more accurate information to us including the GlobalPetrolprices.com that published the latest rates on February 26, 2018 and are accessible at https://www.globalpetrolprices.com/benchmark/

So, am sure the legacy of Indian Media has changed a big time from where they started as the front line fourth pillar to where they are doing the dirty laundry of the Political Organizations or trying to mint money by sensationalization of the news.

Media Slaughterhouse

Media Slaughterhouse is not the place where Media get slaughtered. No, its neither my blog or any other blog where Media bashing is taken as the prime objective and where media is slaughtered by one and all. It rather is the establishment of Pseudo Secular Liberal Thinker Media (un)Professional journalists who slaughter everything that is not acceptable to them and their handlers. ahem ahem, Political handlers.

It is pretty interesting how the Media Slaughterhouse slaughters the mainstream voice by promoting and again promoting the news that they (ahem rather their handlers) CREATE. The (un)Ethical (un)Professional Journalists who certainly are from the breed that would love to bash anything and everything that has to do with positive of Majority and good of Majority.  They are the first ones to make mess out of anything and everything where the Majority does something good and where they try to provide a better outlook of the nation.

Media Slaughterhouse starts its day with promotion of Anti-Social activities through the support they derive from the NGOs trading in Human Rights.  Those NGOs for whom the entire book on Human Rights starts from the word Naxalite and ends with the word Terrorists.  Those NGOs neither understand nor acknowledge that the Soldiers also have Human Rights.  The Media Slaughterhouse is often infested with these NGOs working for the Human Rights or Naxals and Terrorists.  So the news of Martyrs like Capt Saurabh Kalia, Lt. Col R. Vishwanathan & 450+ Kargil Martyrs, Capt Tushar Mahajan, Capt Pawan Kumar, Lance Naik Om Prakash and scores of other, doesn't make any lead story for Media Slaughterhouse.  According to them if a soldier martyrs, its his / her duty to which the soldier fell. However, if the same soldier kills a Naxal or Terrorist or say captures it, the Slaughterhouse funded by the NGOs for Human Rights News broadcast start promoting such stories in length and width that the common man forgets the torturous Murder of Capt Saurabh Kalia and company.  Media Slaughterhouse had just covered that news for a day or two and then they moved on with torturing the families by asking them insensible questions including - "How do you think you would cope up with the death of your son?"  One of the so called Leading Super Star Journalist would time and again claim to have reported the Kargil War from the Front, but in the disguise how much information got shared (un)knowingly is something that has not seen the light of the day. That journalist is still leading the Media Slaughterhouse unscathed.

Media Slaughterhouse then serves the brunch of Anti-national news and interviews of those Anti-nationals bashing the system and hailing Martyrdom of Terrorists.  These Anti Nationals certainly get the cover from their political handlers who use them as the Political Ammunition. Some who realize that they wasted their life in wrong hands try to mend their ways and when unsuccessful in doing so, they end their life.  But again, the Media Slaughterhouse would blame not so responsible people than those responsible.  The Media Slaughterhouse would even sponsor the kith and kins to make "Prompted" statements and "Coached" responses against the system.  Many of such incidents were caught on camera and were available in the public domain.  One such case was of a kid in Madhya Pradesh state who was being coached to make statement against the Chief Minister because CM or his aide had slapped him for begging!! The kids wouldn't say what the reported wanted to say and got irritated by repeated coaching. The wannabe (un)professional Journalist trying to break into the Media Slaughterhouse pushed that kid and walked away for the not so Obedient behavior by the kid.  

The evening snacks from the Media Slaughterhouse is Anti-government interviews, statements and coverage on fake fear and anxiety.  The Media Slaughterhouse that was not even in hindsight during the 3 years of emergency from 1975, starts talking about the level of intolerance and insecurity in the country. The Interview broadcast also involves speakers from the set of people who were shunted out of the lutyens house and had to move back to own expenses as government denied them the privilege any more.  The height of intolerance by the Media Slaughterhouse is the depiction of the country as the MOST insecure place to live for the minority. Interesting, can they please highlight which other country in the world is more secure to this effect? This dish of Nation's slam is roasted in the minds by delivering it through the known celebrities.

The dinner served by the Media Slaughterhouse involves the leftovers from the morning till evening and sometimes repeat of the paid news and talk shows.  For the citizens who by the dinner time would have had searched enough from the alternate sources and known the truth, the dinner time from the Slaughterhouse is nothing by stale and unacceptable serving.  But Media Slaughterhouse still serves the same during the prime time as it then gives mileage to the Anti-Social and Anti-National Elements.  In a way this serves as the purpose of advertisement for them to get the mileage for which they have been longing and the Media Slaughterhouse is the best launchpad for them.

The same routine in repeated day in and out by the Media Slaughterhouse with the dishes they serve. How much ever stale, artificial or inept they may be, the way they are served, the common man starts believing them as the real tasteful dishes. With that the common man starts falling pray to the Media Slaughterhouse believing that the misappropriation of power has started in past 18 months or so only.  Before that the nation was a paradise and everyone was living in peace and tranquility!!!

Operation Rahat and Indian Media

Media and Yellow Journalism seems to have become synonyms for the time that we are living in.  Media would just report what would sell and what would bring more money to them.  And certainly it has to be controversial.  

Regarding the operation Rahat, where India really did well to bring back almost all Indians (but one) back home alive, the Indian Media was by far the last to report it.  Rather I happened to read one specific report in one of the leading publications that India responded slower than China and where the mistakes made by India were highlighted.  But that particular media house seems to have missed the boat in understanding that there were only 500+ Chinese, where as there were 4000+ Indian stranded in Yemen.  Interestingly, the western countries were also issuing travel advisory to contact Indian Mission to get evacuated from the War Torn region. 

The whole world was looking towards India to help evacuate their citizens.  However, the Indian Media was busy praising Pakistan for helping rescue 11 Indians and sending them home.  The whole limelight was occupied by that news than the efforts by the Indian Mission and Indian soldiers and other government departments to smoothly run operation Rahat.

As usual, Indian Media has proved that they are not going to publish what is right, they are going to publish what is paid for!!!!  Would have they done anything like this -
Foreign Channel CNN has covered India's successful Yemen rescue operation "Operation Rahat"
