I am really surprised at the things that are “news worthy” these days . . . actually more disappointed than surprised.

The role of the media is to be an impartial reporter of current events but all that the media has turned to be now is a provocateur it does nothing else and thats really shameful . . . because it degrades the intellect of the viewer by assuming that the viewer wants to see all that nonsense in such overwhelmingly gross details and dissected piece by little piece.

its sickening, where’s the sense of responsibility from the media

the media is indeed a fundamental problem… i think if we abolshied the media altogether… there would be 90% less evil in the western world.. not because we have closed our eyes to it and cannot see it now.. but because the media instigates division and hatred – and the indian media is very much a part of “western media=.

i’ve got a solution for you though… stop reading the news… stop watching TV… :) your reaction is exactly what the media is hoping for… we are all nothing but a pawn in their game in as much as we let them play it!

I can’t remember the last time i watched or read “mainstream news”, i read friends blogs.. i read journals and scientific papers, i read blogs of real people that cover issues in some opressed nations… and they give me a picture of reality that the mass media can never due to is sensationalists commercial needs!
