Great news

I do watch  "The Great News" in star-world or zee cafe? I don't remember.

I don't like it. I compare it with "The newsroom" which was serious and dealt with the actual problem journalists (with integrity!) face. This one is more like romcom.

And the title - The great news!!! When was the last time you heard any great news. When was the last time you heard any news? All the news gets swarmed over by shouting, screeching, name calling and bhakti. The anchors have learned from same school and use same approach - everything is fair in love and war and TRP. It does not matter that a few riots happen here and there. It does not matter much that a few people face discrimination, verbal abuse and attack here and there in the name of their caste, creed, religion and eating habits. As long as it brings good TRP, every thing is fine.

That's how I started watching youtube channel newslaundry. They have great shows clothesline, why so serious, constitution and now newsance. And they have the courage to call a spade a spade. I don't know how much media hate they are facing, but they are doing a good job.

We need at least a few TV channels which do such kind of hones work. If not, our democracy is at risk.
