See how media can twist an innocent remark

[third eye]

A look at the article below would illustrate how media can twist remarks - one sees this daily on TV.

Hayden I feel has made a remark ( in bold below) which is ok for any one who feels that national awards should be for citizens of the country.

The tone give to the same remark by the paper ( underlined below the link) changes the complexion of his remark. Making him look like a jealous competitor for the same award which I feel he is not.

My views.

Why not make Sachin Tendulkar PM of Australia , says fuming Hayden

NEW DELHI: Former Australian opener Matthew Hayden has shown displeasure over Sachin Tendulkar getting the prestigious ‘Order of Australia’. “I am not so sure. There are things that are sacred within our country,” Hayden told Triple M Sydney’s The Rush Hour. The 40-year-old asserted that though Tendulkar is an iconic figure in Australia , the honour should remain exclusive for the Australian citizens. “If Sachin was living in Australia , then gee, why not give him the Prime Minister gong. For me, it should be exclusive for Australians.”

On Tuesday, Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard announced that ‘Order of Australia’ would be conferred on Sachin Tendulkar for his contribution to the sport. Tendulkar was elated after hearing the news hoping it would further “cement the bond” between the two countries. “I indeed feel privileged and honoured at receiving this recognition,” Tendulkar said from South Africa where he is representing Mumbai Indians in the ongoing Champions League Twenty20 tournament. “I hope that this honour will further cement the bond between the two countries, we both share a unique love for cricket,” he added. agencie

No matter what the media says, We respect Hayden and even if he says that it should be kept for Australians only, we won't object and call him names.

True actually. Hayden has a valid point. The media in India with a few exception has long passed the time when it was objective. Twisting of words to add masala is the norm now.
