Dark sides of society


These days we find a lot of reports on media bashing and we know who are doing it. There are certain quarters who do it regularly. At first, we have got to understand the real job and purpose of the media. In short, it really helps to unearth the dark sides of the society and to point out anomalies. It praises good deeds, denounces stupidity--to name a few.

So, if someone only expects some sweet words about him and gets angry about something stupid that he did, it is cause for concern. People like us do not understand why persons or authorities concerned take things so negatively about a report. If there is any problem or lie in any report, then here are chances to send rejoinders, clarifications explaining what really is misunderstood. But bashing of the media is not expected. Showing anger is the least expected of things. Let's be vocal against media bashing.
