When we were all kids our english teachers taught us how to write articles and news reports. I know its in the CBSE syllabus. But I was always taught that "the news" is and HAS TO BE impartial.
Star news is something like a pathetic soap opera when you compare it to the news channels like BBC or CNN. This is not because Indian news agencies are not good its because the news in india has become nothing less than a top comercial object. They show what sells. But trust me most of it is glamorised stories!.
While Star fancies itself(like all other news channels) to be the best. It claims to keep you ahead. "Aaap ko rakhe aage" But what it does is quite the opposite.
It airs many programs like "Sansani" and special reports about "Kiski kaar kiske upar" or "Who is the father of some heroin's son" They ussually deprive the general public of what they need to know.
Apart from depriving the public of what they need to know the indian media is also playing top role in destroying the nations harmony. Consider the recent riots between veena's and gujjars in Rajasthan, a responsible news channel shall stick to facts and say something like "The violence in rajasthan escalates as the communities clash, these many people are dead. these trains are cancelled. these many people are stranded for these many days" But The commercial news channels will show repititive footage of "isolated incidents" and make a story as if the entire state is in complete mayhem and say something like "What the damn is the government doing"
I just cannot explain the disgrace the "Commercial news channels" are to the nation. Guys lets dump these channels and stifl to DD news which atleast shows impartial news and not makes issue of small incidents.
Also I hate the way 5 full days the channel was airing MR. Bacchans wedding while there were other important things happening. Disgusting
