Media Mela (Fest) Exclusive!!!!!!!

I think more than anybody else media people had an exciting 50 hours... They looked the most happy about the on-going situation by saying .."Exclusive News" ..."Exclusively on this channel only"..."Exclusive Photos"..."Exclusive video footage"....

If it was a normal day, then the V.P. Singh's (our former Prime Minister) death might have covered with detailed case study on how he died, what was his last words and interviewing his friends by asking..now hes dead , how do you feel... etc., With the terrorist thing on their top priority, the coverage of V.P Singh's was shorter than a normal advertisement time slot...

Here is some glimpses of how news hungry our media people are......

(Media Mela)


They are not concerned with what is happening inside, they are more concerned on how to capitalize the entire event....we have seen some prominent movie makers also giving their point of view on the attacks....which means in short you will be able to see a movie based on this story titled "MARCOS" "WOH 26 Tariq" "Mumbai Meri Jaan" or any other which can bring in contrevesy / crowd ...which might be even funded by some corporates and they will stage the scene in such a way that, they made this movie to show the patriotic feeling..... This is what is happening through out....

We forget whats happening ....we stick out views through the media...if 6 out of 10 channel says a particular person is a good person , we start believing it....at some place the media people should draw a line to themselves and show their solidarty for the country as well... the way some of the journalist talk to the victims or ask such stupid questions make us feel are they really doing reporting or something else...

Here is a brief interaction of a Journalist of a famous TV channel and a victim who just walked out of the hostage situation....

Journalist : Abhi aap ko kaisa lag raga hai ? (how are you feeling now?)

Victim : Much better....

Journalist : Aap ko kisne bachaya hai ? ( Who helped you to get out the hostage situation ? )

Victim : Commandos

Journalist : Aap ne Terrorist ko dekha hai ? (Have you seen the terrorist?)

Victim : Nahi, mein mera kamre mein bandh tha ( No, I closed myself in my room)

Journalist : Room me light aur TV aur kahene peena ka suvida nahi tha? (Did you had light, TV and arrangement for food and water in the room)

Victim : Nahi, Security reason ki wajah se light aur tv bandh kiya tha (No, due to security reasons the TV and light were switched off)

Journalist : Kya aap sashen ko is ka zimmedar manthe hai? (Do you blame the government for this? )

What kind of question is this, for every thing that goes wrong the first thing any journalist from any tv channel will ask this question "Kya aap sashen ko is ka zimmedar manthe hai?" or "Kya police time nahi pounchi?" or " Kya police is ke zimmedar hai?".......

Unfortunely their fest on live coverage ends now, but this is not the end of it they have more hot and spicey news...now they will interview as many dead people's family as possible...train them with the words what to say, how to blame the authorities etc., and goes live with that....

For them its a business....you are sad...we will cover it and make money out of it...you are happy...we will cover the news and make money out of it....you are sick ....we will cover it and make money out of it.....all you need to do is give us exculsive pictures and exculsive interview....we just need news....we are not concerned the city is burning, the city is attacked by terrorist , our coverage can create problem in the investigation or on going combing operation...we are not concerned with that...all we want is the news....Exclusive!!!!!!
