Actually I quite like the news these days and I think CNN-IBN is great. Though I don't have a favorite Indian news channel, I liike them all.[/b]
yep, that's the point. News solely cater to TRPs (viewership) now. So if more people want to watch the latest d*ckwad fashion event than the state of conflict in Africa, then so be it. That is what the channels will show. Sadly it's the same case with print media. Most newspapers unfortunately cater to a stupid demographic. It's also unfortunate that they don't use better paper, otherwise they could at least be used for toilet paper. The only newspaper I can respect is The Indian Express, which again is not as "likeable" as other newspapers on the face of it, but it gives real news. Most of these lame ass newspapers and channels keep blabbering about how cool they are and what awards they win, and how in the latest survey it shows that they are sooo cool.
If the media was a person, it would be a prostitute. And not a prostitute who is a victim of circumstances. But a dirty, skanky, disease ridden, willing one.
