There is so much competition for ad views these days on TV channels. This India TV has a prime time programme at 9 pm that is called 'Breaking News'(?) Apparently they have many news stories to break at that time, yesterday they broke the story that it was full moon night yesterday. The story was, how some research in England has 'proved' that more crimes take place on a full moon night than any other. But instead of dissecting the report, what they did was accused our neighbour of being murderous and a bane to humanity. We were also subjected to some 'ghastly' images of the moon, with wolves howling for the background score prop. The other 'news channels', Aaj Tak and Star News, are an equally big waste. Many here in Bombay do not remember when was the last time they saw a news story on Star News.Amar Mainkarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16744695795103819411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25446828.post-13065366150373054842008-06-15T23:55:00.000+05:302008-06-15T23:55:00.000+05:30I really chuckled at the translations.

One should start to think if , at all, it should be people oriented (may sound a bit obvious that it should) than profit oriented, and if it can be agreed upon by a majority we should think of how it would be possible to make it ppl oriented.<BR/><BR/>-SingalAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
