Propaganda is everywhere. From being a political term mainly, it has now become a lifestyle for most of us as we are consuming it more than protein and that too with great relish. Be it India or be it Uncle Sam, everybody is using it in a very depressing manner. As Socrates asked "Whose bias do you seek", everything that we read or hear has a bias about it these days, everyone in this country is trying to influence one to join one's side/cause or the other. But in the end, it's up to us which one we want to swallow and which one we want to spit, what kind of genre we like in lies, and whether are we okay with those who just want to meat ride in this political BDSM, without even knowing what they want and who is who.
Current India is divided into two groups-one where WhatsApp University and people like Shweta Singh, and Amish Devgan rule, who was sure that there would be a nano-chip inside the two thousand rupee notes, that would send your location to the government through satellite if kept with black money. And the amusing part is, people fell for that crap. People like them are the reason why flat-earth groups are thriving.
The other one is where real universities in Delhi and people like Barkha Dutt rule, yes the same woman who during the atrocious 26/11 attacks, played a very prominent role in jeopardizing the lives of 100s of people who were stranded inside the hotels, by disclosing there location etc. on live television, just for some trp and crap. In another instance during her dubious live coverage of the Kargil War, she spooked the Army, by reviling crucial information about the secret operations of the army, to providing the military locations on live television and acting like 'Vibhishan' by helping Pakistan with all the crucial information. Again, for some trp ‘and personal image, breaking all the basic ethics of journalism.
In the end, the point I’m trying to make here is that it's all just political chicanery. Want to be a journalist? Pick a party rather than picking up the news. One thing that's common with these pests is they all become lickspittles and force their biases on the masses through the greatest weapon ever made. That is “television”.
