Shame on Indian Media??

This is such an true and unfortunate aspect of reality in India.

The true heroes who are spilling their blood for their country are forgotten - but the pseudo heroes ( who are actually real-life villains ) are cornering all the glory.

Same thing happened when Aamir Khan did his terrorist portrayal in Fanaa - here is a guy who plays a terrorist killing Indian soldiers and wants to blow up India with a nuclear device, and the gullible Indian audience lapped it up.

Not only that, many people were criticising Gujarat govt for banning Fanaa

God save India - because at this point only He can do it :icon_frown:

 

Hai,
you have opened up a very vital issue. I was too very angry when I read that Sanjay said he has a18 year old daughter and she is in the US.
Here, many innocent people are being killed by terrorists and militants like they are chopping vegetables. Their spouses and children do not even have any guarantee about their life. And here he is saying that he is the sole bread winner of the family, the son of Nargis and Sunil Dutt, film actors themselves and political leaders, Sanju a star acting in many movies.
The media, particularly in the North, give more importance to the film stars.
The news about Ash and junior AB getting married, my God, they both have had many fiancee's, had broken engagements, boy friends and girl friends and what not. Their getting married was the main news in many of the channels like NDTV etc.
God forbid, if there is any problem in their married life also, that will be made int news and cashed in. It is really so very disgusting.

 

HI

I feel the same. Take the one on KBC, a poll on who is better, Shah Rukh or Amitabh. Found it disgusting what with so many participating and giving their views. Not sure which news channel.

There are so many other important issues, but no, they have to go and highlight such issues (does it really matter who is better). :bang

Ya, ladies, even i feel so disgusted how these film personalities are made to look like gods and goddesses.....even here in germany, the leading newspapers are cashinh in all the bollywood news...they also have the photos of these screen actors and so much importance to all this .......
I hope soon our tv channels will realise this an dtry to get the real people who sacrifice or do great deeds, and televise such shows, and create a REAL world with reality than create so much fuss with this REEL world , and project fantasies . Our younger generation who is being exposed to only these heroes, and heroines, are fooled into thinking that only this is the real world.....something has to happen soon and change .Media has to be more responsible.
Thanks RAGINI , for posting this fwd.....it really upsets us when we stand by helplessly watching the MEDIA!

 

Hi Ragini

Remember the time when we had only Doordarshan, the " poor, dull DD " often accused of being a Kisan-Kethi Darshan ? And decent, straightforeward newspapers giving real news in black and white without colours ? Those days are gone forever.
We now have 24 hour newschannels competing with one another with as much razzle-dazzle and noise as they can muster. Newspapers have become tabloids, colourful, heavy with supplements and sponsored sheets and also competing for Top-Sales figures. They look for a sensation in everything and if there is isn't one, it is no news. A very sad state of affairs indeed.
There's just one handful of newspapers that still retain their dignity and reliability , but sorry to say, I dint get to read of this news item you have quoted even in those.:icon_frown:
But who is to blame ? The publishers or the readers ?

:bangcomp: ( P.S. See that as a smiley hammering the Media, not the computer)

hi to all,
s,itz really shame on media. poor major, lost his life for our india,salute the real hero.:clap
also abt the actors,:bang what ever,they'll come first,main priorities to them.
independence day,diwali,newyr, what ever..sanjay dutt is very clever,for mercy he acted in munna bhai m.b.b.s,part 1 & 2. so the people thought he is the real hero,whatz this:idontgetit:
defl'y v all r have to change.

 

Yes, it is a BIG shame indeed. I have not seen the indian TV news, but I can imagine your frustration and feel it too.
It is the same in US. Predators, murderers and beauty queens and movie stars hog the headlines.
Highly regrettable.

L, Kamla

 

Yes, Ladies , Shame on the media.
What they want is the cheap publicity only the film and the cricket world can give.
All these days it was Ganguly, and Chappell and they were the ones who created the problem and after that who is the best captain, should dravid remain or either ganguly or sachin to take over.. As if they are the ones to decide who is to play for India..
Then came amitabh- sharukh who si better at kbc. Sharihk as usual crying I am the best and the media saying that he is losing ratings now..
After salmankhan and his buck killing, and a killing spree on the road , it is Sunjaydutt and his AK47.. and his innocence. Those who play with guns are not innocent.
The real heroes like the Major go unheard.. What can we do about this?? We can write only here.. Will they (Media) hear it ??
Nowadays I don't even watch TV, I just hate the sight of it.
