| | Has Media gone too far? | | | Dear Editor,
Now comes the news of some media men having acted as accomplices of the Taliban in Mangalore. The Taliban in question here, BJP and its goons have done it again. They have attacked a harmless bunch of youngsters in the city over the flimsy pretext of something going wrong on that day. And to top it all, media men were called to film the happenings and this the latter did with glee, like earlier when they filmed the hapless girl in Sikkim instead of helping her. An obvious question here to be asked is what sort of moral policing the party men were indulging in when they themselves were in an inebriated condition being filled upto brim with the very alcohol they preach form rooftops to abhor?
Today’s hypocrites while indulging themselves in all sorts of horrendous behaviour themselves overtly or covertly, have the guts to preach sermons from the pulpits and the towers of the holy places. It would be better for them to do some soul searching about who actually is the fire-starter and then go on a rampage with ease in the city they intend to target. Society today is a choc a bloc with these wolves-in-hiding who claim to be the upholders of truth and ethics. It is a classic case of “an elephant’s teeth to show and another set to eat”.
And yes, today’s media has to and do some soul-searching to be really the mirror which shows the true picture of the society. Media must introspect what actually has gone wrong? Though these cases are few and far between, yet they are setting up a bad precedent for the upcoming journalists from print as well as the electronic media.
