People are the most vulnerable when they are scared of the most valuable thing that they have called LIFE!! When facing life threatening situations particularly like the ones we in Mumbai are going through, it can be traumatic and very exhausting mentally!! Even a flat tyre sound can race your heart beat and can possibly make you to take cover... Miscreants will be exactly what they are... They will sms such incidents to TV news channels and will also laugh at their monstrocity. The spread of rumors at this time is the highest. And its natural for people to get affected and make a run for it!! What really happens no one knows. Let me try and decipher it. Media is blatant about issues that concern Politicos and their actions and reactions. At the same time they have to render news that is completely true and unbiased!! That is a task and an impossible one at that. Also when the politicos use a lot of bureaucracy, power play and of course favoritism, the media has to play the hand asked of them. sometimes in such situations the media takes a huge beating when they BREAK a news and then they themselves have to rate it as a RUMOR!! This is in fact a play of not allowing PANIC to set in the hearts of the people residing in the area of such terror activity. At times the Government controls the death toll numbers of such activity stricken areas only to comfort the people that the SITUATION IS UNDER CONTROL and loss of life was also controlled. Media is played like a puppet at times and we as viewers and intelligent watchers describe it as "MEDIA CIRCUS". Things like these rumors that spread like epidemic are then asked to be reported as rumors and sometimes even the TRUTH actually is passed on as rumors!! We have to be intelligent and logical in examining for ourselves what the Government will allow to be exposed to the public and what will be detrimental and harmful to the people around us.... But making the media out to be a dog all the time is questioning our own intelligence!! Are we not people who seek jobs for such posts too..??/?
