Where is the News?

A lot is said about the prolifiration of news channels in our country in the last decade. However I know very few tv channels that broadcast news. Most of the so-called "news channels" broadcast propoganda. Propoganda with an shockingly unabashed political bias. Free media in our country means freedom to the media to spread misinformation and lies.

What is true about tv channels is also true about the print medium. The media seem to have sold themselves to a particular political ideology, party or family. The worst thing about it is the absolute lack of introspection, and the hypocracy about the nobility of the profession. Rarely does one read an article questioning the media's role in the current state of affairs of the country.
