Purabi Ghosh Mohan Ji,
Right you are, all the way.
Research or unbiased processes in reporting are hardly attempted.
Most of them, if not all, apparently, follow the goals and biases set by their owners. One wishes it was otherwise.
Tragically our own media controlled by the GOI is no better....!
Its all like the saying ..."a people/citizens get the Govt. or media they deserve..."
Peace

Dear friends,
I read and watch with unease the state of media in our country today.
Most of those from the fraternity opine, don't report, with scant research to back them up. They are driven by a herd mentality.
Senior journalists write/speak on issues at random and keep silent on many other critical stories which they should be writing/speaking on. Some are heavily dictated by their publication/channel leanings or their private interests.
The media creates hype at will, distorts stories and gives a handle to those with vested interests. The partisan news and views influence politicians, judiciary and legislating bodies.
I understand that the News Broadcasting Standards Authority (NBSA) is a private body and not a legal entity. The Press Club of India (PCI) is a legal body and but yet to widen scope. The new Press Registration and Books (PRB) Act, also, is yet to be passed. It still runs on the 1867 Act.
Such a situation poses immense threat to the nation and to the populace.
It is necessary to raise our voices against this situation and bring the authenticity of news to an even keel. Something needs to be done.
Regards
Purobi Ghosh Mohan
