A few days ago I stumbled upon a quote by Benjamin Franklin that I forgot long ago: "Our critics are our friends.They show us our faults." Since that time I haven't stopped thinking about it.And yeah I know old Ben was a great man,a true genius,one of the few intellectuals,blah blah blah and other crap like that.All of this points to the fact that Mr.Franky was clearly not in his right mind when he said this.Or maybe he was in his right mind,he just wanted to mess with the future generations!Or most probably,he did not have a clue how the future would turn out to be,which means he probably wasn't such a brainiac after all.But then again these are my opinions!
Okay now before you decide to go all nuclear on me,at least give me a chance to explain.First of all,I am going to make a common analogy here.I am talking about media here,and I don't think anybody denies the fact that they are a breed of extremely negative,intensely greedy,highly stupid and super cruel critics.So when I say the word critic,I mean the media.There might be some of you who won't agree,but in this age,critic is synonymous with reporter and media.Surprising how definitions evolve through time,isn't it?
Now why am I saying all these bad things about our precious media which keeps us enlightened by exposing all the negative impacts the present government is responsible for and showing us all the bad things that happen in our respective nations and around the globe?They are such nice people,always working for our welfare,and always working towards uncovering the truth!Well that is precisely the reason why.They always take a bad story about anything and distort it to the extent that,next to it,the Minotaur look like Cinderella.Now,I can go on and on and give you thousands of reasons to hate these people but since I have been getting requests for smaller posts I will just quote one example here : Last week,in my town,a middle-aged couple was killed in an explosion which consumed their house.Their only teenage son was out playing with his friends at that time.By the time he reached home,the press was already there,and they sniffed him out like a blood-hound and immediately cornered him before the authorites.He found out the news of his parent's demise from these so-called reporters,who were asking him tactless(for lack of a better word,believe you me!)questions like,"Were your parents terrorists?Were they experimenting with bombs in the house?",or the totally insensitive and blunt "You know you might be the prime suspect since you are the one who is getting all the insurance money!"(only to find out later that it was a gas explosion),or my personal favorite (sarcasm intended),"Your parents were killed in a possible bomb blast.How do you feel?".Sure,that is a question we all are extremely happy to answer (Again,sarcasm intended).I don't know about you guys,but I think these guys deserve a place in the deepest pits of Tartarus!They call it the quest for truth,I believe it is idiotic,stupid,insensitive,barbaric and most of all inhumane.
Investigative Reporter?Oh pul-leez you are just a retarded person with an insatiable curiosity who had no idea what to do with their life and didn't know what the future held for them.So you picked up a pen and let your wild and mentally challenged imagination flow through it's tip and onto a piece of paper,giving no regard to the number of lives that would be destroyed (Maybe being a retard saves you from conviction).You call it enlightening the world,I say you suffer from DAD (Dumb-ass Disorder)!
Agree completely. The media today has become more like a mafia rather than a organisation built to help keep everyone up-to-date with recent facts and important events in the society.
ReplyDeleteMedia today has become independent of any restrictions (except maybe pornographic material) on what they are allowed to broadcast and any the extent of their efforts to get that material.
They can and do play with the general public's mind according to their own desires and while doing so break the hearts/images or simply destroy the lives of hundreds of individuals each day.
Something should be done to bring this Media MAFIA to the light before the public and to restrict them.
true true true.... they pretty much enjoy these situations.... and i can bet that some blasts are done by these.... .Dumb-assess!...
