Are we paying for this shit??? - Part 1

After getting pissed off by seeing baseless news day by day I have to vent out my frustration. I think this is the perfect medium to do so and this will also help me understand whether I am the only one who is disturbed by all this or do I have more active and sensible siblings around who feel the same.

If we look at the kind of news our media channels have started showing then you will pity on them and more on the people who believe them. Especially Hindi news channels have ruined the image of media in front of sensible audience. Day by day you can see the number of baseless and hypothetical news growing. Isn’t there any real genuine news left on this planet or are these channels blind and can’t see anything happening around? I think no wise body invites them for the coverage and that’s why they create these kinds of stories to fill the prime time. I believe that people have understood that they are not worth calling. But they, like an adamant child will keep showing nonsense. I don’t know what goes in their mind? What is their motive behind showing all this made up stuff and fiction? They even present the real stuff in such a way that it looks threatening and sometime hilarious. Believe me. Are they trying to scare our fellow Indians? But why? Just to increase their channels TRP?

Nonsense News
If you keep a track then you would be aware about one of the media channels news story about alien planning to attack on earth and getting things out from our planet. You can then very well understand my emotions. I mean, what is wrong with them? Have they lost senses? Alien coming down to earth and taking cows from here. They are planning to attack on earth. Are they fond of cows’ milk? Indian cows on their target? These are the kind of stupid punchlines they use and create a doubt in people’s mind and sometimes scare them. Rubbish! Do they even have any base of the story which they are showing? Do they have any proof of what they are presenting in front of billion people? Are there reporters so smart that they can capture each and every activity of aliens with there camera? I bet they are even smarter than NASA scientists. What NASA doesn’t know, they know. This is a one of many such groundless news they show and most importantly they are not alone. They have more brothers and sisters along with them who follow the same path. But the irony is that they are their competitors. Hence, they have a kind of competition that who can show the best made up story in the prime time. They don’t even hesitate in playing with the religious beliefs of people and show n number of stories about various deities in their own dramatic way. In the same context, they go to such places that we are not even aware of and describes the history of the place in such a way that we suddenly feels that how come we are still unaware about it. Seriously they want us to become a tribal living being and make us believe in everything they show.

On a serious note, are they trying to drop down our intelligence level to 0 by showing this stuff? Seriously, if you think then when people start seeing these kinds of news then some of them start believing them. Eventually, there thought process goes around the same thing and on the very next day these channels again show similar stuff. This goes on and on and slowly converts even an intellectual mind to an imaginative mind that starts believing in these made up stories. It’s hard to believe but Yes its true, by repetitively showing same kind of stories some people start believing them and start reacting to it and there level of intellect drops down to 0. They stop thinking from their mind and blindly believe them. Even if we say that we are urban people and don’t believe in these things then also there is a huge threat to us. You have to think little deeply in this case. Firstly, they have wasted our and nations valuable time by showing this fake stuff. They could have utilized that time to show some good and real stuff. Anyways, secondly, after seeing these news innocent people start thinking about it and this also makes their brain work on imaginative things rather than focusing on some valuable and real things. They could have devoted their mind on something important and done some constructive work instead of wasting it. Lastly, if we believe that urban people do not get affected by these news then that is also a wrong perception. I know many reasonably urban people who also believe in these stories and react to it. Hence, this is not only affecting rural India but also urban India. I think this need to be stopped immediately.


“While writing this article I came to know that a small girl killed herself after seeing the news about the Big Bang experiment, which was framed as ‘World will end on 10th September 2008’. This clearly shows the intensity of the effect this so called “New Age Media” leaves on innocent minds. Hence, this is not a thing that should be ignored. We are running too late to act upon it.”
