| Five years ago when introduced India to
| |
| | girl-next-door.I guess the decades of
|
| the concept of a sting operation, we were
| |
| | prudish media coverage lead to this
|
| all jubilant.It showed us that finally
| |
| | voyeristic streak in all of us.In all
|
| transperancy was on its way.A very
| |
| | fairness,we cannot blame the media
|
| unfortunate Bangaru Laxman was caught
| |
| | agencies alone for this turn of events,
|
| with his hand in the cookie jar.And
| |
| | as they just supply the public's demand.
|
| something that we had always known was
| |
| | Our nation stands at this critical
|
| proved yet again,namely,politicians are
| |
| | juncture in History with increasing
|
| corrupt.But soon these optimistic musings
| |
| | global clout and also increasing global
|
| were killed when most of those implicated
| |
| | aspirations of its citizens.But as the
|
| by the sting operation continued their
| |
| | values subscribed to by the mass media
|
| careers in active politics.Tehelka, just
| |
| | change, the public perceptions are
|
| as its name implied, had started the age
| |
| | confusingly muddled.This is definitely
|
| of sensationalism although accountability
| |
| | not the face of the Brave New World.Page
|
| still seemed elusive.Media gurus and
| |
| | 3 culture is well and good, but I hope we
|
| spinmasters realised that the Indian
| |
| | come to realise that there is a fine line
|
| psyche loved this concept of a sneak
| |
| | between Celebrity worship and outright
|
| peek.This lead to many scandals which
| |
| | voyeurism.The only thing the Tehelka
|
| were bordering on obscenity and
| |
| | sting operation gave birth to was poor
|
| definitely in the realm of bad taste.From
| |
| | standards in journalism and of course
|
| sting operations on B-grade Bollywood
| |
| | provided a means for Tarun Tejpal to gain
|
| character artistes to unknown television
| |
| | enough prominence to let loose his
|
| artists, we saw it all.News channels
| |
| | enormously poor contribution to
|
| covered these faux pas of the relatively
| |
| | literature, Alchemy of Desire.The authour
|
| rich and famous as though it was credible
| |
| | is a final year student in a prominent
|
| news.Obscene MMS's regularly pop up
| |
| | engineering institution.
