modern day parasites

times now, cnn-ibn, headlines today and ndtv...

they compete for begging, by falling over each other, any thing that is thrown by any body will be picked up with the desperate hunger...all the while dressed up well and portraying a comfortable demeanour..

any body who deals them a crumb will be welcomed with mouth agape...and then they will tell, we picked the crumb first and we did it with alacrity...the crumb picked up could be rotten or not even edible..but it will be eaten with panache for all to see...

even after having reached a stage where they can change course and adopt a dignified approach, they do not want dignity, when they get satisfaction in screaming out and throwing tantrums.

for example, ndtv uses the word whopping to describe the amount that the cag has cooked up..will a person with a balanced judgement use the word...

headlines today was telling today about 2 lakh acres scam..

did cnniibn tell about the observations of the cag press conference,no it just shifted to coverage of another of its ilk, the perennial parasite, subramanian swamy..

it is time that these channels adopt a dignified and balanced attitude, ndtv and cnnibn seem to have a bit of a chance...

the less said about another of this family, a distant cousin, languishing in the sidelines, the new indian express, the better...while these tv channels have struck prime positions, like the traffic signals of the real world, the new indian express and its editor are struggling away from the limelight.

'Cow sucking clouds- Will the World end?'; 'Rahul-Mahajan and Dimpi were seen outside Prabhadevi temple... Why did they go there?'; 'Was the tv wedding of Ali n Sarah the first time they got married?' is the kind of news we are subjected. News channels are turning into gossips channels lately ......

Cow sucking clouds?! Ha ! Thats the stuff they show on India TV. They pick up something strange from UTube and show it as News - in fultoo showbizz style!
Last year we had Breaking News - 'Amitabh ko thand lagi!' on India TV. Bigg Boss has a bunch of losers trying to put each other down! Sometimes u feel its scripted!
