Hello my fellow countrymen and countrywomen,
I would not call this a super exposing blog or a story, but here is how Main Stream Media and people in power play with us and especially with the information/news that is fed to us.
All of this is based on what I have seen on TV and read on internet and in the sequence how events have unfolded. I have just put together the events, let us all see how this looks.
Event – 1 : CoalGate
Nation is hit with great COAL SCAM. News Broke, super outrage.
SC orders status report on investigation to CBI.
CBI gets in touch with PMO and law ministry, they held a meeting. officers of PMO and law ministry changed the report. This is broke in media too.
CBI, law ministry and PMO denies of report changing. Letter says yes, we did minor changes of legal language and format however the crux of the report was not changed.
SC asked CBI to file affidavit, CBI did that. SC says heart of the report was changed.
While the Event 1 is in the air, nation is hit with Event 2.
Event – 2 : Railway Ministry is selling top posts
Nephew of Pawan Bansal, was selling top post in Indian Railways in crores.
Mr. Bansal denies all.
Media comes up with document which shows Mr. Minister was given unsecured loan at cheapest interest rate. Hence it is confirmed he has everything to do with his nephew in terms of business.
So on the basis of these 2 events and many other UPA scams, opposition, a very responsible one at that, BJP stalls the parliament seeking resignation of Mr. Railway & Law Minster.
UPA/CONgress denies it. Later with more outrage they resign. by then Parliament session is over and opposition is blamed for not letting it function, even media questions opposition, however they should be questioning CONgress. Media rested the matter saying more to come.
Event – 3 : Mrs Nalini Chidambaram SCAM
Current finance minister and then Home minister’s wife was given 42 crores. A business man (scared for his life as hell) in his statement to CBI, names all the culprits but Media chooses not to name any of them, in the name of ethics of Journalism, My ____ ethics of journalism.
The whole issue is buried down.
With these 3 major issues, hitting hard the government, which involves top 4 people of the Government of World’s largest DEMOCRACY, being involved in SCAM, LOOT, EXTORTION, BREAKING LAW, CONTEMPT OF SUPREME COURT; CONgress led UPA was at the weakest ground.
All of the above is about PUBLIC MONEY. MINE and YOUR money. So how to serve our masters was the question in front of media.
Here comes the biggie, what is that most people in the country would relate to. CRICKET CRICKET CRICKET, as they says its not a sport but a religion in INDIA.
Event – 4 : THE IPL SAGA
Its been weeks since every media house is hitting hard the BCCI and the IPL. Match fixing has been an old disease and SPOT fixing, relatively a new one.
Media comes up with big names, bigger nexus involving D gang etc.
However entire public discourse boils down to, Mr. Srinivasan’s resignation. No media Diva or Prince is focusing or asking on how to fix the issue of match/spot fixing, as if Srinivasan’s resignation is going to fix it.
So now that Srinivasan has resigned or stepped aside, they don’t know what to do, so they now have found DHONI holds a postion of Vice President in India Cement, and 15% stake in a sports management company so they ask, does DHONI have vested interest?
At the end, I don’t give a damn if Srinivasan stays or goes, if DHONI has vested interest or not, as long as they make my cricket clean and win trophies for country.
Mind you, this IPL story has been airing 24*7 from weeks now but not a single line note on above mentioned first 3 events/SCAMS and/or CWG, 2G, VadraGate, ChopperGate, TruckGate, IrrigationGate etc etc. Which are all about PUBLIC FUNDS and on the other hand IPLGate/SPOTFIXING are about private money.
However I am not saying its of any less significance, but Media should prioritize stories and give us the real news, that affects us.
Enough Said, Justice Arnab, Rajdeep, Sagarika Gosh, Barkha Dutt, and every other media Diva/Prince, made you forget bigger SCAMS(Public Funds) by playing IPL(Private money Issue) Saga and served their Most corrupt CONgress Masters, knowingly or unknowingly.
Cheers,
Sunil Thacker
