juice it

Breaking news--corruption, blackmoney ,scam, 2G, 3G and what not!!The news channel and responsible journalism are being stretched at the seams as I see in a bid to outdo the competition each news portion that hits the screen is breaking news( probably 60% of the variable salary for breaking news) and then it is hyped and beamed multiple times till you get sick and go into coma.The amount of time the news is churned and the crackling voices of the on location correspondent are often irritating.It reminds you of extracting sugar cane juice.Agreed one needs to give inputs and updates about the facts and gather momentum and support.But throughout the day switching any news channel and seeing the same news over and over again is killing.Expressing views, garnering support on issues like corruption, using social networking sites and sms ( which is a money spinner)is good,but ruminating on it is a disaster.Moreover tracking these items that attract eyeballs or TRP's and then leaving them post some behind the curtain agreements makes them drop these issues suddenly.Fail to understand what we mean by responsible journalism.One can see the political bias specific channels have and how news items are dug out from the earths crust and served on a platter.
