Media’s love for Aliens


I use to have newspaper as the first thing in the morning. Today is no exception. But as soon as I go through a leading newspaper, which claims itself as “Akhbaar nahi Aandolan,” I was distressed. Have a look at its lead story and I’m sure u will also get a big surprise: “Aliens kar sakte hain Himesh ko kidnap.” What rubbish it is, then I read it again to verify if I had mistaken, but there’s no change. Shit kya yeh lead news hai? I cried. Most interestingly, the news of abduction comes from the most un-credible source of Indian media (a TV channel that use to show such nonsense every time).
Oops… Himesh is likely to be abducted by the Aliens. According to Kewatmal Extra Terrestrial Research Center, the alien is having profound attachment with the ultrasonic frequencies. And with its nasal Surrurrrrrr, this singing sensation somehow managed to cater the likes of the Aliens.
Once I was asked by a Big 92.7 RJ that if I have to send any voice in the universe for the aliens, what will be my choice. That was a equally strange and comic question for me that time. But I answered Himesh so that the extra terrestrials also enjoy the ‘pathetic shor.’ Si, I’m pleased to know that they are really enjoying it and suppose to depute Himesh as their brand ambassador on the earth.
I’m not here to comment on this particular research but am really worried by the way it has been covered by media. Does this news carry more importance than Wall Street collapse or chaos in Orissa? The answer is simply big NO… and nor this news is going to increase the readership of the news paper, but I’m sure about one thing that it will prove the childishness of the newspaper industry once again.
With regard to its credibility, newspapers are believed to be the classic medium of mass communication, but shall this news justify the reliability that the mass have in it. Nowadays Indian media industry is suffering from a unique type of disease, which keeps the bulls’ eye on the ‘bhoot, bhabisya, and dusri duniya.’
On the occasion of Durga Puja, I will pray the God to give some sense of ‘sadbudhi’ to the media world. So that there will be more news than gossips. Only then any media house will claim to bring revolution.
