the fourth pillar

media: a political party, a business house, an entertainment show, a propagandist 

media is plural for medium. it is a medium of communication between government and the last living person in the society. it was called as "the fourth pillar" of our democracy. which shares great responsibility with other three pillars. lately it has become a business proposition, even an entertainment show. real news are read in a "duronto" manner, with no stoppage. one can see the shows like "24 ghante 24 reporter" or "100 seconds 100 news" etc.

was media always same? no, after the revolution of television in India. it has changed dramatically. in the race of television rating point (TRP) or to break the news first, they started inventing news instead of reporting. reporters are merely doing politicians press conferences than reporting the problems in rural India. news has also become an elite thing, there is hardly any media house, which is reporting rural problems.

big debates: prime time :-

this is evening, when the big guns of media houses sits with their "experts" to discuss mostly the politicians one liners or mostly these days "Gandhi-modi saga". I still don't understand these so called "experts". although it is quite visible that they are divided (biased) with their choice of party. one can see the regular experts panel, or some special newly appointed once. viewers have left with very little choice than to listen the ranting and raving of "experts". 

sting operations: elevator to quick and cheap fame-:

now a days sting operations are one of the cheap tricks from new media houses to come into fame or to carry out for political fame. an year ago gee news and navin jindal cross sting was one of the most controversial one. recently the media house owned by an congress man did controversial sting on aam aadmi party, which proved nothing.

nobody can question media:-

they have got constitutional right to question anybody, that is quite correct. but it doesn't make them unquestionable. they will grab all sort of false stories to claim seconds trp. but if  later somebody ask them to apologise for the false story they run for several day, give it a few seconds of apology.

taking over social media:-

the social media is a revolution in terms of mass communications. it has given individuals same amount of power as journalists. but when journalists have taken over these platforms such as twitter and Facebook. first they claim to have personal view and then discuss the same on their prime time news. how can anybody be so hypocritical about their personality. how can you have personal view mixed with news headlines and then be judgemental?

in this internet shabby generation,  people are wise. they form their opinion only after a conformation of any news. keep your eyes and ears open, and don't form opinion quickly.

 

a morning thought

                  parenting and governance- an equivalence

parenting is very similar to the governance. it is like the central government, which is being elected for five years to rule the life of its citizens. only difference is that one cannot choose his or her parents. most of Indian children must have had experienced certain traditional values. which defines do'es and don't, as we  have constitutions. but constitution is amendable if parliament want,in the same way if parents thinks some rules can be broken for guests or favorite child,it's OK. but if someone outside of the parliament challenges the some alleged unconstitutional order. then they allege them of being unconstitutional instead debating or talking about it.

parents on one hand want their child to grow up and be decisive. but one often find their parent control over hairstyle, dressing, friend-circle and almost everything. later after marriage control over your wife, which leads to saas-bahu drama in the house. one can relate that with center- state slug fest on many issues, latest being jan-lokpal. power, which is an obsession, most of us enjoy either in politics or in family. this may be one of many reasons why we have still problems in accepting-:
*treating women as equal.
*debating section 377 on LGBT.

can u question the president of our country, or of your family? a straight no. i mean the same person was a union minister a few days ago. if one gets promoted, and reaches to highest post, does that mean, he is always correct? well that is a question open for debate. country is no private limited company, where "BOSS IS ALWAYS RIGHT". here everybody should be open for scrutiny including "RASTRAPATI".  all other PATI'S has to only listen all their life, how can one be exception. even in family one cannot question the oldest some time, even if he is wrong. often in your it becomes matter of "tumse jyyade jindgi dekhi hai inhone"(he has seen more life than you). well obviously, he is one reason of me being in this world, but does that make him always right?  #with all respect to the elders.

*be little patient while reading, just  a thought. which is open for debate or scrutiny. if anybody find any mistake .please comment.
