I am Responsible!!!!

Breaking news on some Tv channels

Aajtak: Pita hi hai kaatil

Headlines Today: Headlines today cracks Aarushi murder mystery

Ndtv: Aarushi killed by her own father

.......

Some examples of how news channels draw its own conclusions even before the case has been presented in front of the judiciary.

Saw the Press conference the other day. The IG did not even know who was killed. He did not even know her name. Kept calling her Shruti. Noida Police have thrown themselves in a weird position now. The IGs statement was contradictory. On one hand he said that Aarushi was aware of her fathers extra marital affair and on the other hand he said that Aarushis father caught her in an objectionable position with the servant. I feel sorry for Noida Police and more so for the beautifully designed news channels we have in this country.

I hold the news channels responsible for spoiling a familys life. Why do they have their reporters stationed 24 X 7 outside Mr talwars house? Are they waiting for Nupur Talwar to commit suicide so that they can get some more spicy content out of it? Havent they got enough content as it is? Will these channels apologise to the nation if Mr talwar is held not guilty in this case?

The other day Nupur Talwar was interviewed by Ndtv. Other channels started analyzing this interview. Some said that Nupur Talwar did not even shed a tear so may be she's also involved. Now if she cries it would make 'great footage' and if she doesnt then shes also involved in the killing. When will this trial by media end?

I agree that each news channels has its own TG but there a lot of other people who are watching them apart from that defined TG. Are the news channels going to be punished for showing such irresponsible content on air? Is there a content code for news channels? If there is, are they following it? Who is keeping a tab on it? Do we all love watching anchors making a fool of themselves on headlines today? Do we like Khali so much that we don't want to know anything happening around the world? Are these really news channels or entertainment channels? Is there ever gonna be ONE reporter or a journalist who would put his/her foot down and say that i don't want to be stationed outside somebodys house throughout the day?

Will we ever get answers to these questions? I guess not!

If this is what news channels have to offer then i thank my stars that im in radio not TV.
