Muloghonto Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 6 hours ago, Mariyam said: Why the need to generalize? Peddling lies, because your company asked you to, doesn't fall under the ambit of professionalism (in the context of journalism). I think you are mixing lobbying (a democratic right) with a news channel showing a blatant bias and asking its reporters to show a certain narrative which may not be completely factual. The two aren't the same. The latter can result in libel. And has many times. Every news channel will have bias. Simply from the factor of omission : not all news will be covered. Cannot be covered. So what the channel chooses to omit, is bias. There is a difference between false information, which is perjury/libel and selective reporting - which every single news site is forced to do due to time & space constraint. And if the news service says 'we are a conservative platform, i want you to represent the conservative angle', then it is utterly unprofessional to not do so.

They are nothing but a mirror here. Maybe a crazy mirror, the types that you see in Essel World, which flatten/fatten/distort the image. But a mirror nonetheless. They reflect what the society in general prioritizes. And if someone does not like what they see in the mirror, the fault is not the mirrors. Throwing stones may not help, but a rhinoplasty could. If people did not attach much importance to Sreedevi related news, the media would not cover it that extensively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Media is one of the pillar of democracy .They have some responsibility if they are just after trp then they should call it media entertainment. Also the same logic is applicable on politicians , they too just pick the pulse of Society and make their career out of it.Yet they receive biggest abuse from the same people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at OP listed her as "Rajdeep and his biwi!" It's like AB Sr said, "Hum Jahan Khade hote hain..line wahin se shuru hota hain". The worst list starts with the couple.
