There media is only further hurting India's image , like it did in Nepal . Indians may not believe in such narrow-minded mentality , unfortunately that's what Indian media is doing here .
@jamahir , yar what's the deal with Indian media ? doing this for rating , right ? what stupidity .
most of indian media is nationalistic and their jingoism has been fueled by modi's victory in the elections... there are pakistani articles reproduced in indian newspapers but these are generally the ones where the writer is critical of pakistani society or politics.
i remember statements by the wife of a western ambassador to india, critical of her stay in india... she was heavily criticized even though what she said was correct.
i was disgusted by zee news' coverage of the nepal earthquake... for two whole days ( at least i stopped watching then ), all that zee news spoke was about the temples of kathmandu, while about 4500 people had been declared dead by then... i was disgusted by this.
also, within india itself, the way celebrities are hounded by the media is so sad... when the film stars or politicians walk to a venue, they are almost stampeded by the media.
and then there is the entire field of sensationalism where much of the media turns into "moral police" that is no different from goons like the "ram sena" group.
if you watch the hindi news channels like zee news and aaj tak, your head will ache from the shouting the anchors do, the reporters do and from the super-fast news updates at the bottom of the screen.
all in all, most of india media has no class, in fact no real necessity and should be replaced by the few proper channels like ndtv and newspapers like "the hindu" and "asian age".
and the bombay film industry should be the news domain of the few old film magazines like filmfare and stardust... the industry must boycott the stupid sensationalist mainstream media.
The South African official who was on board the helecopter has ended the controvery and trolling of the Indian media and its internet allies through his statement
For his part, South African High Commissioner Mpendulo Jele, who was on board the helicopter but miraculously remained unhurt, said it was an accident.
okay, that puts the debate and trolling at rest.
