The Unreliable

The biggest question that comes to my mind after reading and hearing a hoopla of editorials and expert advice on free and liberal media, political reforms and unreliable stances taken by people in power is, is it really going to make a difference? Will there actually be a time when one would be able to raise his voice against the powerful and be heard and be safe? Will there ever be a time when there will only be real reforms and no political and powerplays working towards individual benefits?
I don’t really need to answer any of these questions. The answer is pretty clear. The tendency of someone else making a benefit in a conflict between two people has always been there and it will continue till there are conflicts. As a person sitting in my room wanting to get real information which is unbiased and reliable is a far off dream for its probably impossible to get one. My biggest worry relating to getting a hand on factual and unaltered information is the unreliability of the sources. The news media refuses to bring out real news and instead relies on created masala to sell. Laundered with power and money, unfazed with the lowered reputation and credibility we continue to get information that is hard to believe.
And this unreliability is not just restricted to the news medium. The news itself is about the erratic behaviours, scandals and scams, the blame game and unauthoritative dispositions. Whether its is the government or the corporate there are innumerable instances being reported everyday that destroys your trust for things around you. I sometimes crave to kill all in news for all the news are such where there is nothing but anger to be born.
