Swine flu and the media
A couple of swines flew and brought us the swine flu.Media is all about instilling fear and panic in people(esp the weak minds). if you are a pro blabbermouth you can join media and do your thing such as drugging people with panic and fear of the unknown and exaggerating even what looks remotely insignificant.
The real purpose of media is to provide information/awareness and throw light on unverbalized issues and of course provide quality entertainment.Its a huge platform to do variety of things if done with oh so sincerity.
More than the swine flu if the media stops their innate epidemic nature of bruiting and scandal mongering,it would help the society at large.
yes, I totally agree with you..
