news hungry mallu media

Mostly i have a positive outlook towards news channels - they were making an attempt to bring out the truth. The past few days i could see news channels on overdrive to cover the Amrita Chaitanya aka Santosh Madhavan Swami happenings. Corny titles on flash alerts were doing the rounds. 'Kalla Swami', 'Aasami' being the few samples. lol i was laughing out. The swamy season had begun

But, starting yesterday I could see a change in the outlook towards the whole news media's freedom. Starting yesterday the unknown Swami Bhadrananda came to spotlight. One look and you can see hes a retard & minor drug addict or mentally ill with a wannabe feel for doing good. All he had was a silly looking Maruti 800 like car with a pilot light, oxygen cylinder & first aid box. And yea he would have seen some ministers while on some inaugration by climbing the nearest electric post or tree. The media couldnt digest this - they had to go hyperactive on this one. Starting with Mangalam who made him look like some sort of murderer the provocation started. I can understand the standards of mangalam - but Asianet News channel going to such levels. That was rather cheap. Even today when the silly swami who loved screen time tried to commit suicide some of the ridiculous mangalam & asianet so called professional journalists had to go haywire. All this claiming the police was being partial & exclusive to the Manorama journalist who did not even have a cam or voice recorder with her. She was simply trying to calm down the swami & get the gun away. No the typical mallu jealousy had to creep in. Idiotic newscrews forcing themselves into the police station where a man who's threatening to commit suicide is placed. And look what happened - he gets agitated & fires two shots - luckily no one got injured.

Seriously is this called media freedom? Shame on you Asianet & Mangalam - trying to justify your news hungry nature & your stupid journalists who tried to force their way into a room where a man sits threatening to commit to suicide with a loaded gun. Cant you just wait and look at real facts before jumping the gun.(Swami Himachal Pradesh could be another crook for all we know - but till we know how can u assasinate him such a way). Look at manorama and learn to let go.


Overall it looks like the whole media is trying to divert attention from the Santosh Madhava aka 'Kalla Swami'. Makes me wonder who really controls the media? reminds me of one of the charecters from the movie By the People in which the main almighty villain controls all the media and politics. We'll need a suresh gopi to do the rounds here.

On a side note who does the leftmost character look like? I'll give you a hint - he's a wannabe omnipotent

Hey Ethan, glad you liked the post. Like a true Mallu I got inspired to write that post while tying my lungi and sitting down to eat my dosa & chatney.
