India's shameless press!

So, when are we going to change? What gave Dinamalar the right to intrude into people's lives like this? Will we see a day in our lives, when people from Dinamalar will spend time in prison for what they do/did?

As it is, the Indian Press is subliminally low in quality, and very vocal in demonstrating hatred towards any mild form of criticism. Was it Dinamalar being cheap, trying to sell a few extra copies, or was it "freedom of press"?

Freedom of Press is a useless self - licensing jargon that the press in India has created, fostered and obtained Supreme Court blessings for (Oh! the court might jail me to apologize, the next time I land in India -> shiver! shiver!).

It is ridiculous to see press coverage being so poor in every possible form. If you opened up a news website, you would be taken to either smashits.com or a promise of a low interest loan, or a combinational barrage of pop - ups, pop - downs and pop - befores and afters. Don't even get me started on syntax and grammar. (Before you jump the gun, this is my blog, and I don't get paid for propriety - atlest here!)

Since the internet happened, the Indian press has put up its downward spiral for the whole world to see. Its not just that, its also a barefaced demonstration, that the Indian public can influence or change them in no way - after all, they can't change the politicians, why bother with the press?

Enraged, as ever,

Srihari

Hi yamanoor,
I used to be an ardent Indian Express reader while i was in pune. I used to like their Page One anchor. It seemed to be the newspaper which actually lived to its motto of journalism of courage. But its saddening to see that IE is having a bad time. Also most of their previous reporters are now with TOI.

In fact, its difficult to find it in Bangy.

Indian mentality and privacy are two different things, poles apart.
