Media is supposed to keep the public informed about things that concern a common man, right? WRONG.....

What I find that today's media is doing everything else than that. They make a person a star just for any silly reason they give coverage to news which is not at all important. They publish articles which are of least importance. The "media" has truly become irresponsible.

Let me acquaint you with this, there were these terrorists who was caught firing AK 47 in the streets of Mumbai, launching fire grenades.All of them were dead when finally the militarry arrived. But this particular one was caught alive. These guys were responsible for terrorist acts, killed atleast 100' s of people and panicked prevailed in the busy city called Mumbai for a week. Now the media comes up with strange stories about this guy. he is Ajmal Kasab. Someday he is feeling dizziness; a headliner, someday he wants to celebrate rakhi (a festival in India); a headliner; today he is supposed to go for fasting (holy month of Ramzan) and the jail would serve him non-veg food; a headliner again. LoL The guy should be castrated and hanged but instead he is treated as a celebrity. I bet that if the pathetic judicial; system doesn't punish him soon enough he would even contest in the next elections.

Nevertheless I would like to know what is the media like in your place? Do they give undue importance to irrelevant news? Do they always seem to follow the daily activities of the filmstars forgetting some grave issues, concerning the common man? Lastly; do you think that the media in your country acts responsible? Please do share.
