Lucky days for Media

The day Im writing and posting this blog entry I feel, last one week and the next one is lucky and busy day for Indian Media, mostly TV channels. I like using 'Lucky' day for them in such situations when country is facing such tough time ( bomb blast in pune happend yesterday 7 pm), but News channels (all )who donot belive in spreading news or giving news to Aam Junta but only sell and create opinion based on the their own judgement. I mean its not very new experiance for me but again to repeat with, from last one week there is only one thing which they have shown us on channels or focused on.."SRK ( Shahruk Khan) Vs Sena over some statements made by SRK and protest done by Shiv Sena in Bombay and adjacent areas. It is misuse and overuse of media in some senses which is inappropriate and illegitimate for notion of having "Media bounded by rights and virtue". Today, I saw a shift in showing or creating content over news channels after the pune bomb blast where few seconds back they were showing the same shit that they were repeating from hours over MY NAME IS KHAN screeing in Maharashtra and security issues and suddenly all channels pouring the live telecast from pune after the bomb blast case. Even some of the channels like Aaj Tak , India TV, Star News, IBN 7 started showing the simulation of the sad event which took 11 lives till now.
Though I understand that how critical the situation is but the way news are shown on air might lead to undesired proof of concept for Terrorists? Shift of Television content is obvious after such events but again Im sure for next few days or weeks the same content will start repeating on the TV screens by different news channels in a way again as if there are no other news in whole world. Do we need all this? Same Barkha Dutt, will start questioning the security arrangements in some of the designed programmes where she donot end up in concluding things as question mark for people but bluntly impose her opinion under the shadow of a false notion of chauvinism. ( Somehow I dont understand why NDTV is a big fan of Congress as ruling goverment and Rahul Gandhi. Big question for me!! )
I'm damn sure that SRK and others ( whoever involved in the movie My Name is KHAN ) will be upset by this event of bomb blast in Pune, Maharashtra but sure it will affect the movie collections in some way or other. Because high alert ( it is raised every time after a bomb blast ) has been raised in Metros and other places. Tommorrow there will be too many check posts in different parts of cities in India and it will opportune Indian Police to have some bucks from Junta for their own safety ( It is I have seen in Pune during the mumbai blast 26/11/2008, If you are travelling by bike, then a  local police man can stop you anywhere and by no reason he will have 100 or 50 Rs or more than that from you as fee of his duty towards nation and her people ).
And since this blast had happned in Maharashtra then definitly Shiv Sena and Maharashtra Nav Nirman Sena ( MNS ) will not come on to Media framework as I believe that they done have any role to play in Blast as well or they dont have any importance for Media people and news agencies.
Though Im writing this on very small place but these are my feelings where news channels in India are not feeling their responsibilities in right sense which should have more human , ethical and law abiding face.
