“Hey, buddy I got a new entertainment”
“Oh! You mean a new movie, where on television or OTT”
“No, I mean a new update a new news”
“Oh! I get it let's watch the debate.”
“Lost are those days when news was informative,
Now it is just for TRP and creative,
The importance should be given to all,
Just covering an industry is not tolerable.”
“But what is your problem,
They discard the mayhem,
They cover whatever they want,
And you stop your rant.”
“That’s where the problem is,
We don’t care,
And they don’t repair,
I just feel like saying excuse me please from all these.”
“They show popular items,
Without any terms,
Yes sometimes those are awful,
But still we get something new."
“Just getting new is not the purpose,
We need something true,
Which is digestible and important,
The main purpose they have just forgotten.”
“Like we are quarrelling now,
The same we watch on television,
What is the need for so,
They are just wasting our time.”
“But for some,
You cannot generalize all,
Some show good,
Some are trustable.”
“Yes I agree,
But they are few,
So we need to be attentive,
We need to take the best from the rest.”
“So you don’t want to watch,
Leave it,
I will watch it,
While having popcorn.”
“Though it is not a movie,
But the entertainment is same,
Even if the film industry vanishes,
The news channels will remain.”
“Let it be I will not complain,
The present time is such that,
We are trapped under the virtual hat,
Hence it will be the same even if I rant.”
“But the hard fact,
Is getting worse,
The needy people,
Are side lined purposely.”
“Keeping the political policies,
In brain they will telecast news,
Only very few have the courage,
To challenge the unruly rules.”
“Still hoping the best,
The mirage will soon go,
The Oasis of good news,
Will soon evolve in everyone's views."
So true..! 👍
Nicely put. If you have read Look Back in Anger by John Osborn, you will know that nothing much has changed in news media over the ages.
The Indian news channels have become pathetic. In fact, the whole Indian media has become a circus.
