Sleeping Editors make Kolkata Itch



What a load of crap. How can a newspaper print a tweet without putting it under the editorial inspection in the first place? Either the editorial team was sleeping or they thought it’s quite hep to print something this nonsensical. I am not dumb enough to link it or post it in spite of the fact that this is my personal blog. Furthermore there is conscious effort in killing the story about the protest that brewed from it in Kolkata tonight. No information means more chaos Media should know that better. And furthermore the national news channels are killing this news too. Just because some media friend did a mistake and that erupted into a riot like situation in Kolkata (Park Circus Area) doesn't mean you stop making news out of it. One needs transparency in media. But in one way it’s good that the stupid media people (Since they have themselves proved their stupidity) are not taking up this story. God knows what they would have done. For 30 years my father was a journalist. He taught me to criticise media and not takes it in its face value. It is sad that tremendous hard work that he had done in his career today stands disgraced. Yes I agree there is lot of pressure on people in the news house but that doesn’t mean that you completely lose your mind .On top of all this they put up an apology like this (above mentioned). The apology should have been.
" A tweet by @iPoonampandey was reproduced in t2 on March 19 because of a technical error. The Telegraph had no intention to hurt the sentiments of any community. We apologise for publishing the tweet and we have sacked the team who are behind this negligence. "

Models are a beauty queen that’s their job they should not be made into opinion leaders. In today’s world superstars are made within seconds but they are superstars only in their business. Don’t make them Gods in things where they have no credibility. Hope this post finds more voices thus making it loud and clear and instead of firing innocents the media house that is The Telegraph (I don't need to politicaly correct here like our Chief Minister Mamta Banerjee who couldn't even take The Telegraphs name as if it was Lord Voldermort) should start firing those over paid fat baffoons from their cushy cabins and throw them into the street.
