I think the media has forgotten its primary role - all the news that's fit to print (or televise). Rather, they want to dumb the news down, so that more people would tune in. This leads to selective reporting, where only news that can be sensationalized will be shown. Shallow reporting by rookie anchors who are ignorant of the subject leads to superficial coverage. In the end, we are simply left with vomit inducing coverage. Shoba – Thanks for your comment.

Thanks to Abdul for pointing me to this post. One of the reasons why media is not doing much, is because most of the media is owned by the politicians. Even the few good newspapers are burnt down or forced to join a party. Priya, nice pour out on Indian Democracy. Thanks to Abdul for pointing me to this post.
