Hindi News Channels:The assault continues!

the sad part, really, is that even after all this, media planners and marketing folks like me keep aside some budget for these channels....dont see things improving at all....in fact, even ndtv india or ibn 7 have started following such an approach now...guess it was bound to happen, when you have "news" being shown 24*7..

2 years back, when i was in new york, there was a breaking news story on prime time on fox news, which was about a cat caught on a tree, that had the most advanced nation in the world watching the 'rescue' operation live for an hour.....so ultimately firemen had to come and rescue the cat from the tree...i couldnt help but think then that how dumb can a country get? 

unfortunately, the country widely recognized as amongst the brainiest in the world is now following the same path.

Thank You Aaj Tak. Thank You Star News. Thank You India TV.
Thank You all for such wonderful , wholesome entertainment.
Hope you all are very proud of still being called journalists........

THE HEADLINE ON STARNEWS WAS PANCHVI PASS ME THUGG ? IF WE SAY MANMOHAN SINGH IS A CHEAT? THE Q MARK DOES NOT GIVE IMPRESSION IT REQUIRES
