the great indian media debacle

You wake up late on Sunday morning after a hard night of partying…then u make yourself coffee get seated in a nice cozy chair with one hand holding the coffee mug and another on the newspaper, but then the jaws of laziness creep in and you settle in watching the news on television. Bless JM Br…er...Bless the man who invented the television! You switch on the television...change to the news channel and ---ah!!!!! They tell you how exquisitely Shakira shook her hips in Mumbai (not that i mind lol! but still...)and how Shah Rukh Kahn presented each of the contestants of KBC with cars…and then to your horror a small line measuring the size of a centipede “an earthquake measuring 7.1 Richter scale rocks Japan!!”…has the media lost its mind? Earlier a news channel conducted a “nation-wide” poll of a few thousand people to come to a conclusion that Big B is the Indian of the year…really!!??!!
Ofcourse it doesn’t hide the fact that the media has been instrumental in various issues of public interest. But where the gud old news gone is what I wanna know!!!
