Today, some joker rode over the palms of hajjar kids over some other joker's anniversary and counter-claiming that it was a martial arts training. I neither condone nor condemn what this joker does. Some say ... (thank you, Stig) ... this act had the consent of the parents. The news channels (NCs) express indignation over what parents do. But I fear, where does the interference of NCs stop? There are many instances where my friends have expressed indignation over the news channels' indignation. Such as Neehar Rao's statements. First, the NCs pass judgement even if a matter is sub-judice. Then they justify the same stating that justice would never have been served had they not intervened. The amount of support the NCs have expressed over the Section 377 IPC is crazy. Why do these NCs express their open support over an issue? Why do the morons who report on TV not understand that they are being led by their noses and hoses and that they ironically have an opinion of their own? Rest assured, this is going to be my next post in detail about my opinion.
I do understand the moral stance the NCs are taking. But there is a problem about non-individual views in contrast with mob-mentality. This fourth estate today may be right today in condemning the parents. Tomorrow there is nothing to stop the NCs from taking control over parents stating that this is good for parents and this is not good for parents. They have to understand this. Their job is to objectively report. To state facts without expressing their opinion. No insinuations, no indirect statements, no emotion. They would do well to try and teach Mr. Spock a lesson or two. But no. We will never have this luxury so long as India is so religious and emotional.
