Is the Media trustworthy?

Hi guys,

Just finished watching Rann. Brilliant movie. Highly recommended.

Anyways, I am not here for movie reviews. I was awestruck by the message that the movie portrayed. Can we really trust our media? If the media is corrupt, then how can you define 'news'? Can the media industry be really manipulated so easily and toyed around with? I was appalled by the movie and wondered as to how easily media can be bought? How can we know about our government's decisions because of this kind of media? Of course it was a bit overdone, but still it was true.

So, what do you people think? Kindly share your views. 😊

But then why read the newspaper and watch the news? Why believe our eyes and ears in despair?

It really sickened me to see how the media was being manipulated like puppets. At this rate, India will be the most corrupt nation in no time.

The media not only reports news but they present their views as well, which distort the news to a large extent. They thrive on creating panic among the public and increasing TRPs, so they make a mountain out of a mole.

When one goes for an interview, one takes the best shot in impressing the interviewers to out-do the competition, selling oneself. Not all that's mentioned in CVs, is true. Not all that one speak is totally true.

Media is not trustworthy in all stances.. yeah fine sometimes, they happen to deliver our requirement , but it so happens that its just temporary, and the in the end put in their own views..sometimes without ethics!

Media is not to be trusted at all these days.They know how to blow things of proportion and are just there to amass huge amount of money.The kind of news they cover these days shows that they are defo sloping downwards.This way they are promoting nothing but tabliod sensationalism.
