Growing Resistance against Media

Any incident that has gained prominence anywhere is recently updated on electronic media very soon. We can observe the proliferation of new electronic media these days. There is at least one news channel set up every year in every language. I guess there is no need to talk about why ?

Everybody is concerned about what's going on in the world rather than theirs. Facebook is the best example of this growing interest. People spend at least 80% of their time in learning about what's happening around them. So, electronic media has gained prominence as well as popularity in telecasting every news, gossip, information to people of all classes. In fact, this has become a great race among all the media on who telecasts every bit of news in a faster, tastier way !

Lot of good has come out of it. Many scandals exposed, many scams investigated, many loop holes exposed. And there are a number of considerable disadvantages too. But there is no way that these can be restricted as this can happen only when they self investigate their processes and values.

Coming to the advantages, lots of scandals were unearthed in the recent decade. But, we are unable to know if those scandals are properly given verdicts. It is not clear that the people behind those scandals are punished strictly. We often hear biggies caught in these issues, but they never get arrested. Even if they were arrested, they will be bailed out somehow. And media doesn't or doesn't have to followup the case and hence we don't know what happens in the background. In the recent days, we can see a lot of scams exposed by the media.

Now, One question arises in my mind. Are people not afraid that they may get caught by the media ? or Are they not afraid of getting caught ? I'm starting to realize that these political frauds are building up resistance to media and are still committing crimes. This definitely is an alarming issue !! Until one realizes this and clears their own conscience and stays truthful in the society, it is difficult to out number those scamsters !! Let us all try to be good and make this a Good World to live in !!!
