CNN-IBN’S “FACE THE NATION” COVERS TRIVIAL ISSUE WHILE A SERIOUS ISSUE HAS TOTALLY VANISHED AFTER THEY BROKE THE STORY… PITY AND INDEED A SHAMEFUL ACT

CNN-IBN’S “FACE THE NATION” COVERS TRIVIAL ISSUE WHILE A SERIOUS ISSUE HAS TOTALLY VANISHED AFTER THEY BROKE THE STORY… PITY AND INDEED A SHAMEFUL ACT! (10th Sept 2009, 1225 hrs)

Yesterday it was a pathetic sight to see anchor Sagarika Ghosh debating over Congress ministers living in five-star hotels in her “Face the Nation”. And more surprising was the revelation because the CNN-IBN’s anchor was in fact advocating why a minister cannot live in five-star hotels when he has crores as his assets??? Wow! Indeed commendable Ms. Ghosh for a job well done!

Kudos to CNN-IBN for highlighting the plight of the crorepati ministers through their channel and special edition of “Face the Nation”! When news channel can stoop so low, wonder why the ministers will not stoop lower to live a lavish life bloodsucking the poor man’s earning… It is the same channel, who broke the brilliant news revealing the harsh truth of drought-hit farmers’ plight in Bundelkhand on Sunday (6th Sept)… SHOCKING! Farmers are selling their wives into flesh trade to survive a few more days of living with that two-meal a day life.

While the serious issue has only remained an issue and sidelined in oblivion (in spite of NCW Girija Vyas had ordered a probe to be completed in 48 hours time…) nothing is being seen, covered, or even written about… while Ms. Ghosh was so quick to build the image of the tarnished ministers (Tharoor & Krishna) in her “Face the Nation”… neither the channel or she has bothered to raise the serious issue in a big way and debate about the State and Central Government’s failure of looking after the poor citizen of the nation… why such major serious issues are closed in file and not debated on news channels???

How much do the ministers pay the news channels to build their tarnished images??? How much the media is influenced by power corrupt political leaders? Why eminent news anchors stoop so low to protect the ministers and not the poor affected citizen??? The nation would like to see Sagarika Ghosh grilling and debating the issue of “Drought-hit poor farmers in Bundelkhand selling wives to live another day” and see what the Manmohan Singh and Mayawati’s government have to say??? Have they really been taken care of and compensated to live an honorable living… Why so far, the channel is incapable to get Mayawati’s interview regarding the same issue???

Well, as I said in my earlier blogs that a “probe” is always ordered to close the issue… I wonder if CNN-IBN will expose the harsh reality of rural India for every viewer to applaud them and get the corrupt politicians to pay for their misdeeds or failure to take care of their respective citizen… the nation wants answers CNN-IBN because your channel broke the story… so why suddenly you have kept so quiet about the whole issue??? Looks like your channel is only bothered about why rich travelers are having problems of flying Jet Airways as you have been telecasting their woes endlessly throughout the day… truly a SHAMEFUL ACT!
