Shame on the news channels and us viewers....

Saw this link in my mailbox today morning. I was numb after reading through it.

Touching indeed.

Well….the new channels are all here to make money. Its all about TRP ratings. Covering Sanju baba’s news every single minute generates money for them because they get more ads every time they take a break. No commercial news channel is really concerned with what happens in the rest of the country as long as they have some happening news related to celebrities and have the viewers following it religiously (I bet they even had a sms campaign named ‘Kya Bhai hai sanju baba’ or some such crap. And the mobile service providers charged exorbitantly for each sms sent to them.. And then they pick a lucky winner who gets an all expenses paid trip to meet Sanju baba and his ak47). Its sad but it’s the reality and we as viewers are equally responsible


Salute to the major for his bravery, so that we can track minute to minute celebrity news in the comfort of our homes…
