No one not even a child must be unaware of the “Breaking News” caption which appears with sickening regularity and keeps on giving the same news over and over again from morning till night.

It is not the breaking news but the news is at focus here. I remember seeing character assassination of so many normal happy people who have now changed into mental wrecks, thanks to the media overdrive.

Remember Uma Khurana a Maths teacher of a Government school.She was made a victim of string operation by an unscruplous wanna be reporter. Her life in fact her whole family’s life took a nose dive,she was fortunate that the real truth was revealed shortly afterwards, but what was missing was the over enthusiastic media which before was beaming the scenes of Uma being manhandled by crowd 24X7 did not bother to bring the innocent Khurana in their studios and let her clear her name. That would have cleared her name and also everyone would have appreciated the intergrety of the media.

When the Oil Sector went on strike in January the hype was created by showing the petrol stations teaming with people eager to tank up and only the version of Mr. Murli Deora was being shown over and over again as to emphasise the sturborness of the Oil Sector employees no one bothered to give out their version.When MP’s, MLA’s give themselves a raise no one says a word, When the Judiciary refuses to give details of their assets it is fine,so why can’t a working class demand a raise, but there were no takers.

When Modern School justly said that a school is a school and it cannot be expected to combine the duties of a Hospital the media gave it a twist the Breaking News” being the school is not a Hospital.

Admitted that anyone can be tempted into Breaking news which can improve the TRP but once when the actual facts are known don’t the falsely implicated victim deserve at least some airtime to clear their name or put forward their side.

Such an action will go a long way creating a credible media
