The Media

3 year old Ananth was kidnapped Monday. thankfully hes safe and is back into Noida and now Adobe will mostly be thinking of investing anything more in India. And the media made huge money out of it, amplifying all the trauma the family had. ofcourse there was competition in who published the news first, who covered more tears. ofcourse Indians love to share grief, the very reason the million mega serials run for a million days.
but what is the media upto and whats its power? as long as there are stupid people (Dilbert's princile : men are stupid 70% of the time, they sleep the other 30, women are always stupid), the media can play with minds to make money. an example was the panic created for bird flu. Discovery channel says 1.5 million children under 5 die every year cause of diarrhea just because there are not enuf toilets. Bird flu claimed 178 lives so far.

You're picking articles off the news and paraphrasing them? This is what you call blogging? If you expect people to read it, please, be original.
