media aka gen NXT moral police ?
Just the other day, I had a good time reading http://punetimepass.blogspot.com, a blog where ppl criticize the "Pune Times", TOI's local supplement.
I do quite share their opinions about this bakwass 4 page supplement of one of the best dailys I have ever read.
I was reading the editorial of the TOI during my coffee break today, and chanced on this article about Dhanonjay Chatterjee- media's new found martyr (and judiciary's death sentenced convict).
The article appropriately criticized the media for creating an atmosphere where a rapist and a killer got so much sympathy, and so much publicity- they made an issue out of it. The article pointed out that media ought to be more responsible and should know what they are making into a high profile story.
As I left the pantry, a glance at the PT showed me the irony-- Articles on how numerology affects how sexy your name becomes, articles on how to have a good time in the bed, some hollywood actor and his n'th girlfriend, one full page of party reports showcasing skimpily dressed ppl boozing and smoking as the representatives of pune's culture!
and they talk about media's responsibility...
