I do not live physically in India for past few years but whenever I watch the live TV and the media covering the issues in India, I strongly feel that Indian Media adds a lot of spice to the basic news /facts and make a every attempt to believe the perception they put over the facts. Media should be FAIR but if you put money to any transactions, there comes a Fiduciary duties that one has complete and follow what clients are asking them to do, clients such as the Polictians, businesses that advertise on such media channels.
Our media should be inspiring and providing the facts to us and let us make the decision of what is right /wrong/correct rather than telling us what is right/wrong. Most of the illiterate people in India do believe that whatever is on the TV must be true and their truth is most of the time media's perception that was may be bought by few individuals. I see that very clearly in American Media, fortunately here there are only 2 political parties but in India there are more than 1700 nationally recognized political parties - now what happens where who knows? and in India who's got the time to dig into it? So whatever is seen on the TV is the truth.
I watch Hindi news channels and the guys there shout on top of their voice, for a statement that can be completed in 15-30 seconds, they take about 15 minutes to provide the information and keep repeating the same information without even using different words at times. That is so poor way to communicate and I can see that they are just filling up time on that show because they do not have anything else to show. Apparently it turns me off and I do have move to another channel and to my surprise I do see same thing is being repeated on the other channels too...What can we do to make them realize that we want to know the facts in clean and concise fashion? I believe creating forums in the new age of Internet will certainly help all of us here..So what are we waiting on - Lets start a journey of free and FAIR media that makes everyone of us powerful enough to reach to millions and express our opinions.
My vision is to see India the most powerful nation by converting the biggest weakness into a biggest strength - which is population :)
