Causation:

A professional media is to raise questions about executive misconduct and also to search for truth behind all issues that are matters of public concern as part of media’s social responsibility.

This does not happen if media develops prejudices and mental blocks.
/1
We, Indians, love the concept of peaceful coexistence. But still, we are a diverse society not yet fully liberated from the deep divisions based on caste, religion, language, region and also innumerable subgroups of every kind existing within it.
/2
There may be exceptions to this rule but they are only exceptions not rule as yet. The media persons are also chips of the same block. They cannot be different from such a society. They do exhibit consciously or subconsciously some prejudices they carry on within their system.
/3
The impartiality, objectivity required for the public service like the media should widen their vision to check and correct themselves.

But it does not always happen. Further, their ‘professional business ethics’ do not allow extravagance such as ‘admissions of mistakes’.
/4
Even if we consciously try to eliminate or suppress those prejudices they return or slip back into our mind, actions.

The rightwing ultra-conservative religious elements are trying to exploit this weakness to impose one nation, one notion, one thought on this diverse society.
/5
The highly educated professionals, intelligentsia also fall prey to this propaganda and weaknesses. Education and experience should have broadened their views to look at all angles and possibilities. Instead, they become obstinate, obdurate and do not change views so easily.
/6
Whether it is free media, independent journalists or intellectuals they advocate perfections to others but do not mind or mend their own imperfections and prejudices.

They do raise doubts, questions until they are proved right but do not search for what is true and right.
7/7

Overreach:

No one including the media have complete control over information. They search for it on their own and raise questions to people concerned publicly or privately.

Many a time they jump to conclusions with incomplete information and present them as complete truth.
/1
For the evolution of solutions or arriving at the truth on any issue, there has to be right kind of analysis, debate, discussions which includes being receptive to information, ideas with an open bent of mind to admit errors of judgement and modify one’s thinking/ opinion.

Pattern:

If we look at the media’s failures, weaknesses, silences, actions, inactions deeply, there appears to be at the root a pattern emerging in their behaviour, character.

One may note such conspicuous absence of media even in case of recent Delhi riots to unravel truth.
/1
They are not occasional, incidental let-downs or failings. it appears to be due to a characteristic approach they are habituated to adopt due to their prejudices and bias.

The course correction required for such basic abnormalities needs deeper analysis of past and present.

Avoidance:

We do get satisfied if the media speaks our voice, say of an educated middle-class citizen reflecting our views.

Is that enough? This is not what is expected of them.

A deeper analysis and understanding of the characters and subjects involved is required.
/1
A closer reading of the issues and associated individuals or groups, their minds, character, behaviour will lead to a predictable line of their approach, the games they play and the strategies they hold or will unfold in future. This will help in our defence and response.

Relevance:

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.

Failings:

What we are witnessing is ‘Enlightened anchors’ lighting up the stage by spitting fire on not so burning issues and subjecting many innocent people into the ring of fire to purify themselves and prove their innocence before the court of ‘His Majesty’.
/1
It is contended by the Government that there is a process existing to control them. But who controls it, whether instigators or perpetrators is the question.

Now the latest upgrade is that they are engaging in fistfights on roads to capture the right spots and TRP ratings.

Scenario:

We have to go back to history books and say ‘Long long ago, so long ago, we had rulers who welcomed and respected criticisms from the media, leaders, educated and experienced people and the public at large’. Now even such cinematic dialogues are old and stale.
/1
Present rulers are busy confining everything to history and even destroying all pieces of evidence of it, burning, burying them deep underground.

They know the art of ruling in this materialistic and practical world. Why give opportunities for criticism and then answer them.
