'Deception Point'ed out!

Swapping through a million News channels to find some REAL news seems like an everyday job. A blast in some major city, or a scam being unfolded- we always want the right news, the one that shows you the correct stuff. Not some tantric baba curing an infant by some magical powers or some cold war in the film industry which never existed. In this whole process of finding the substantial news , we always try to skip the Hindi news channels, because we know all that we'll get from them is yellow news- some which never existed. The English ones- on the other hand seem more presentable to us, don't they? Look again- They seem worse than the Hindi ones.

Most of the so called "we show the real news" English channels just make a mockery out of the real issues which the government looks into. Just because they don't showcase stories about ghosts troubling villages, or a brother slaps another brother and all that, doesn't mean they show you the real stuff. They are a medium which could so easily portray optimism and hope among viewers regarding administration, functioning , entertainment, etc. But all that they really do is , give their own so called rational conclusion and opinion on an action taken by the government which eventually gets proved down to something the government should be 'embarrassed' about, without even actually knowing the practicalities about it.

The Hindi ones are bearable. At least they are jinxed with trash news. Things that wouldn't really make a perception change in society. But the English ones just seem to take up sensitive issues and give out wrong messages. It can NEVER get subjective here, Because when it's about things that make a society... you always have the right and the wrongs. The right, is something which DOES happen in our 'always critized' government, which sometimes is not aired, because they can't get words of appreciation. The wrong- which does happen in our government (in any organization) is blown to a level which seems like a situational crisis for the citizens. Humans are irrational fools. That's how nature made us. it's purely influence and convincing capabilities that change perception and increase knowledge. You never know everything from birth. it's the sense of experience that does. Media- a medium (also, derived from the meaning of medium) to make people believe in a lot of things NEEDS to do the right thing, because they hold power to perception.

I don't deny the fact that there are news stories at times, which actually strike the right note with the people. But this doesn't really seem a regular affair. The wrong ones have always overshadowed.

The usage of a presentable sophisticated news reader , with an accent that came only after the selection- and a news article that is presented in the classiest manner doesn't justify their stance on what they portray. We really need to come out of the grasp of deception.

I sometimes, wish to see the weird babas and saints doing weird things rather than the 'substantial issue deception' because I don't want to be burdened by irrational thoughts. I don't want to have a perception about my country that it's going nowhere, or about corrupt politicians being the ONLY thing in the government.

It might seem i am be cribbing. but read again- all I am doing is realizing that deception is an easy trap for us. The media knows this, but chooses to turn their heads towards the TRP's table. After all, that too is a very important thing in this world of chaos, isn't it?

Thanks.
