[Reader-list] Karnataka becomes pilot state for ID project - 212

[Rajendra Bhat Uppinangadi]

Hi,
 Taha,

 true it is a fact that those celebs will have to be concerned about their
visibility as more Indians seem to be keen to know the private life of
public figures in public life, as all of us know that humans in general have
strengths and weaknesses for many things in life, when these anchors have
merciless bashings on selective targets.
    It is time that such visible anchors of tvs are exposed that they are
not so high on moral pedestal as they claim to be, when they talk to
other panelists on tv shows of news channels. A Barkha, Rajdeep or Arnab and
many more columnists are fully exposed if their private life is exposed just
like that they do for the trps, and a day will not be far when a Nidhi in
Mysore could not even grieve for death of her spouse thanks again to media.!

Arnab on his show in news was at the worst with his approach of a mercenary
for the advertisement revenue he could get for his channel and these anchors
having the holier than thou attitude just because they have the media
degree/diploma and are "journalists" to have a license to be arrogant about
reports in journalism of tabloid kind.Ofcourse the padmashri awards for
these anchors and hoping for some more is the worst kind of social injustice
when actually these should be sued for crating havoc in society with
partisan biased journalism.

Regards,

Rajen.
