How sad is the Indian Media?

Namaskaram. (Im an indian all the way an darn proud of it.. get used to it)
This is ma first attempt at blogging, i plead u will show patience and some amount of appreciation. No part of this blog i hope will bear a resemblance to the many other that float around. Any resemblance is merely co-incidental and is not an attempt of plagiarism.
Something that disturbed me a couple of days ago, wasw making headlines all over the country. This being the victory of Senator Obama over Senator Hilary something Clinton. This piece of news (albeit of great importance) made headlines, everywhere including here in India. Every News channel on the day of the final primary made it their mission to feed the indian audince with the oodles of crapp that was happening so many miles away. And it only got worse. With the news channels begining to analyse the elections and its many implications. And how the democrats if (and mind u its a big IF) in power would change the phase of the World.
Enough of this charade.. its about time they realised that we honestly DONT GIVE A SHIT, about wht happens in america. What difference does it make to me or you if Senator Obama beats the life outta Senator Clinton. and evenyually goes onto win the contest with Senator McCain or happens otherwise.. i dont see that affecting our mounting fuel prices drop. its just not fair. I really owe u an explanation on why all my drivel is even important.. well good morning gentle men ITS NOT. just like the race for the white is irrelevant to all of us, so is this blabbering of a deranged mind.
When the little girl from Delhi, AArushi was murdered, the media covered it like it was the next big thing after the Independence. Granted the issue is of importance to all of us, but describing in detail about the house the girl lived in, her vacations abroad, the sewers next to her home, man it was all a case of overkill.. i do sincerely hope that justice is served, but i also plead with the media to stop feeding this much nonsense and lace it with the label FLASH NEWS.
Recently ive notice that our dear bollywood likes to be in the headlines, be it for right, wrong or even down right irrelevant reasons. And who do they turn to in their time of need ?? Dont bother, Its one of the many 24\7 channels we have and they shamelessly feed it to us. I know sex and cinema are the biggest sellers presently, put them together and you have a blockbuster. And so it seems the Media has decided, show them celebs, throw in some sex and bring an element of crime into it, and whola we have a winner..
I never understood the term "War of the Khans", cause to me Aamir won hands down, nobody could even match up.. recently when the FLASH NEWS: WAR OF THE KHANS was flashed, i was genuinly curious.. But as law would have it, it turned out to be some childish game of one up manship between Aamir and Shah Rukh about some dog over a Blog and how neither bothered to respond.. Now im justified in bitching abou the media. Again i must say, WHO GIVES A DAMN..
You must have got my point by now.. The media need to get some substance.. and since they havce nothing now, anything would be an improvement..
Thank you all for ur beloved time..
