Re: Insensitive Media and blood pressure

oh i got the joke now....:(

i read similar news years ago.....it was a marathi news paper.....saying.."Tractor ki takkar se Shahrukh khan ki maut"....

the dead shahrukh khan was five year old kid...:(

Re: Insensitive Media and blood pressure

Last week, my colleague told that Kamran Khan in his program started like this: naazreen koi achi khabar nahin hai, achi khabar hoti to aap ko zaroor dete.

I said its media policy to promote depression. itne bade mulk main kuch to acha hota hoga. Then the discussion between us went very long to discuss why a bad news is headline and good News even doesn't form part of News.

Re: Insensitive Media and blood pressure

I think its not about Punjabi, its about no one is ready to give other person a chance to speak out his point of view

Re: Insensitive Media and blood pressure

thaith punjabi means pure punjabi?

Re: Insensitive Media and blood pressure

Re: Insensitive Media and blood pressure

yes

Re: Insensitive Media and blood pressure

Reporters are paid to deliver information without being biased .

Re: Insensitive Media and blood pressure

on the face of it, its true.. but channel ki tankhwa se ayyashiyan nahin ho sakti.. so under the table transactions took place. You know ‘lifafa journalists’ :hehe:

Re: Insensitive Media and blood pressure

kya ? :konfused:

Re: Insensitive Media and blood pressure

I meant there are very few jounalists who don’t have a link with political parties and who can play the game without bias. journalists ka bhi pet hota hai.. They also need hi fi cars and luxury bungalows.

Re: Insensitive Media and blood pressure

Background mai jo bhi ho , they have to present it to us in an unbiased manner , they may fake it to be unbiased but that's what they are taught to do.

As for being insensitive , even normal ppl are to an extent insensitive.Its so heart aching to hear people talk about someone's death as if its a story.But due to the amount of ppl dying everyday and death being a natural phenomenon their insensitivity is at times justified.

Yes, news is depressing.I stopped watching it long back.

Re: Insensitive Media and blood pressure

Even some government officials terms no of deaths as ‘score’ in Court :bummer:
