THE DEATH OF COURAGE IN MEDIA

THE DEATH OF COURAGE IN MEDIA
What happened day before yesterday in the Parliament has brought to the fore the corporate-broker-politician nexus out in the open which currently rules the politics of India.
The unholy nexus has been clearly PLAYED OUT on National TV like never before. Earlier the moneybags which were delivered were always hush-hush and never talked about by anyone out in the open like it has been this time around thanks to the growth of Media.
Every channel was hoping they could find something like this and when CNN-IBN TV news channel was given this "scandal" on a silver platter they developed cold feet and didn't show it to the entire nation, which they should have if their personnels were involved in shooting the entire "Bribe for Vote" scenes.
The editor in chief of CNN-IBN Rajdeep Sardesai, who is one of the reputed journalists in India today, goes ahead and shows how coward he is and he couldn't muster up enough courage as a Media-person and telecast the show! What stops some one like him from doing his duty as a journalist? I wonder. Its indeed a shameful and cowardly act by him and his entire channel management. The Indian public needs to know what happened and who was paid, why, what for and when? Isn't the media a free medium? When it comes to frivolous issues such as someone's personal choices with regard to what he/she eats, sleeps with wakes up and what not they go ahead and make it sound like Breaking News! And when actually the NEWS occurred and they had it on a platter what stopped them from showing it to the world? Why did Rajdeep suddenly appeared to have developed cold feet on this issue? Is there something we (the People) don't see that he is scared by the Government?
That's why in my previous posts I asked for the tabling of the Media Bill in the Parliament which is languishing in some obscure corner of the office of the I&B ministry for more than a year now. Why? We as Indians want to know!
I ask for a balanced approach and I hope that the Speaker of the Lok Sabha Somnath Chatterjee will live up to his "democratic" image and dig the truth out. But as Indians we deserve to be treated with a little more dignity and respect from the very people who we elect. So please please be brave face the world and expose the maladies of Indian democracy and make it stronger and more transparent.
And Rajdeep please shun your double-faced attitude and be brave. Courage is not an alien word for us. We have fought and we shall keep fighting for the Truth and nothing but the absolute truth.
Or has the Congress(I) threatened CNN-IBN that if they transmitted the STING their license could be revoked? Huh? Is this the reason you back-tracked? Well if this be the reason you should give up the profession and give brave youngsters a chance to showcase their talents in the field of journalism!
And if you weren't threatened and you gave up the idea of telecasting the STING we need to know why?
Meanwhile, we closely follow the happenings around the Capital where the real wheeling-dealings begin now.
JMM's Shibu Soren, SP's Amar Singh and others are supposedly going to be awarded by the Government. How we shall await and see. Is this above board? Is Reliance ADAG's Anil Ambani now a more powerful corporate head honcho in the country? Will he again come up with an IPO for Reliance Political Fund? (As last time we saw the IPO for Reliance Power - where not even a single Mega Watt of Power has been generated!)
We all Indians need to wake up and start learning from our past mistakes.
Call A Spade A Spade People!
Don't shy away from being Honest!
It ain't fashionable no more but then being fashionable does not last long.
