It was one fine night; I stood beside Terry, when he asked me why I never became a Journalist and chose to work around them. Well, terry hasn’t definitely read my blog. I have one quality that a journalist can’t be. I express my opinion. I say what I feel. I say what my perception is. I am a strong believer in me. However, today’s journalism is bullshit where I see it from. No journalist in this country writes facts but only what their opinion is. No journalist in this country reads the real scenario but his political belief. No journalist in this country expresses the truth but his religious view. No journalist in this country researchers but makes ridiculous accusation. No journalist in this country loves the nation but either the ruling or the opposition. No journalist loves diplomacy but democracy.
Those who tune in the radio, TV or internet for news has the burden of reading 5 article of one story to find the real picture. Those who tune into just one medium and read the news are misled or confused.
I feel ashamed to be a part of media today, for the reasons that, journalists are unprofessional, unethical and egocentric. They seem to believe that they are very powerful. Indeed they are. They are the people who control the 4th pillar of democracy. They are the watchdog of the 3 powers. They are the people who are there to make everybody else responsible. But are they (except you) doing it? Are they responsible enough to make us all responsible?
very true!
