Today is World Press
Freedom Day. World Press Freedom Day is observed annually on 3rd May to remind
countries and people all around the world, that freedom of the press and
freedom of speech and expression are fundamental human rights. Yes it is a day
to celebrate and strive for Press Freedom and freedom of speech and expression
around the world. Everyone loves freedom and would certainly appreciate and
support this movement. But what do we do with an irresponsible, dirty and
biased media. It is out of frustration I wrote this verse about the majority of
Indian News Media:
I Hate India’s Biased News Media.
Silence kills democracy,
And a free press talks,
And keeps democracy
healthy!
But the dirty biased
media,
Run by characterless
owners,
Or controlled by greedy
politicians,
And covered by corrupt
rascals,
For purely personal
interests,
Does no good to our
society,
It is disservice to the
majority,
To our Nation,
And our democracy.
It is unfortunate,
Today everywhere in
India,
In print and electronic
media,
Very few stand for
ethics,
And the rest show and
report,
Mostly contempt and
untruths,
Just for their benefit.
This is not good for our
country,
And our democracy.
- N. Raghu.
