I wonder why we tend to place them on a pedestal. They are just doing a job, trying to earn their money, and like any other profession - cab-driver, roadside vendor, or prostitute. Trying to earn their money, whichever way possible. Actually the other professions are better - they do not go all out trying to compete with each other, shouting away how good a job they are doing (I have not seen a cab-driver or prostitute ever do that).
And only concerned about TRPs. Why give them a halo of social service and concern for the Nation, when that is something farthest from their minds.
Thanks for this link. Iam so glad that I was saved from the electronic Indian media during this tragedy. It had already become a joke when I left India, 5 years back, and Iam not surprised that it has only gone worse. Rajdeep sardasi used to be one sane voice when I was around, though Iam not sure how much active he is nowadays. lallopallo.wordpress.com
