Shall we believe the media?

The misguiding of public with gaudy and spicy headlines is what the media has remained. But such acts of media can finish the career of some person... we have discussed whether media shall be more responsible earlier too... but i want to discuss the case of yuvraj here....

Yesterday after a wonderful innings of 76 against srilanka, Yuvraj in press conference said that He had scored 4 fifties in 5 matches before this series and he failed in just two matches so there should not be any question on my inclusion in team. Here he reasoned that he was not supposed to drop due to failure in ODIs as he has not failed in recent past.

However I read this much later.... the first thing i saw was news headlines as i wanted to hear about india's win.... and news flashes.... "Yuvraj ne seena thok ke kaha meri jagah team me hain pakki" giving a colour of arrogance to his statement which may have effects through out fans and finish his career too... he will be tagged as arrogant.... we have seen such cases with himesh and literally he was tagged arrogant by media which later took toll on his behaviour....

So do we need some discipline... Shall a person take indemnity case against media atleast to teach them a lesson... afterall the freedom is always misused and there has to be a restriction to freedom too... I would have taken on media for defamation case if they did anything gaudi with me.... do you think the stars like controversies but dont show their interest in controversies?....

Who is responsible for this irresponsible behaviour of media... is it us to give them so much freedom or is it them to have misused it?

Not at all, especially if it's zee and star. Their headlines sound more like dialogues from Z-grade Hindi films. They just bank on sensationalism - no matter what the news is 🤢

I think the stars don't bother until it becomes really personal and/or directly accusatory!

Believing media 😆 😆 are u kiddin me... take inputs and facts from media and then do one's own research on net to find the truth. Media gives us lead then there is www to reasearch and be sure... in most cases media just make rai out of bahaad...so treat it like enterntainment not like serious news channels like mid 80's

I don't believe more than half the stuff they write and I think it's better not to. 😆 😆

My principles when it comes to the media is 'Ne Ver Ne Boisya Ne Prasi'

Someone connects the wires
Someone misconstrues new ideas
Someone's a braggart
And someone's a maniac
Someone like you
Someone like me
Don't ignite and don't extinguish
Don't believe, don't fear, don't ask
And relax, and relax

gone r the days where news used to be information. nowadys its juzz entertainment. everything is misconstrued to get more trp's in case of channels n minute things r sensationalised in print media 2 increase sales.

i do watch news channel, but only for saas bahu aur saazish , and i somehow dont feel like believing that too.... 😆 no way, not going to buy news from media....
