The abnormalities of paid media are apparent. That is inevitable as long as their need and greed exist.
Countering the committed/ paid media is a worthless exercise but it is necessary to communicate the truth about their intentions, idiocy to the people.
/1
What we are to really bother about is the free media. Their role and proper functioning are relevant and essential for protecting our democracy, providing checks and balances to the system, bringing sensible changes in society to improve the quality of life of people.
/2
They are more than carriers of news, views and information. They also do processing before presenting analytical reports.
But they are only opinion givers, maybe opinion-makers to some extent but should not become opinion pushers and allow their personal agenda to peep in.
/3
They are not here to pass judgements, impose their will and wishful thinking influenced by their own likes and dislikes.
It is not their job. They may not be qualified or equipped for it. They may not have complete information. Further, they will be overstepping their limits.
/4
It is not possible for everyone, every time to be right in perception, analysis and presentation. But there should be scope for debate, discussions and criticisms.
The media should search and set their path and objective towards what is right, true and just for the people.
/5
Sometimes free media feels so liberated that they dislike following rules and an idealistic path. They do make compromises.
But to the extent, they deviate from the basic principles and ideals they are likely to fail in discharging their duties as part of free media.
/6
These kinds of compromises, failures, weaknesses when repeatedly occurs without any checks, character of so-called free, neutral media totally changes.
This creates a systemic imbalance that allows unchecked, uncontrolled politicians leading the nation to a total disaster.
