Media seems to have created an unbreakable bond with the Aarushi Case(AC). Change to any news channel and they have an undercover story on AC even after CBI has given out the names of prime accused. I am not against media for all the attention they are giving to AC. I think media has played its part by bringing in a stringent investigation of the case. Jaipur Bomb Blast happened almost at the same time as AC but Bomb Blast, even after being much more important than AC, was given little attention by the media. Media didn't jump in to force strict investigation on the case so that terrorists are nabbed. Media realizing that AC interests the public much more than blast case, decided to give it a preference. People feeling pity on the young girl watched news to get the latest updates on it. Soon media persons realized that airing AC news was giving them a high TRP. Soon all the other news were cropped and all the channels were inundated with AC news. INDIA TV was leader of all stupids. They read all the sms that Aarushi sent to her friend /BF (god knows) in their programme "BREAKING NEWS" with all the emotions like "muahhhhhhhh". Not only that they said in their show that Police has read all the sms in court and has earned Aarushi a bad name in front of people present in court (INDIA TV extended this by reading the sms in front of whole country :).. ). Other news channels are not far behind, they have tried to use every piece of information they got in most profitable way.
People of India liked the 14 yr old girl so much that they forgot about the 100 people who died in Jaipur Blast. They don't want terrorists to be nabbed so that such incidents could be prevented, all they want is "INDIA'S BIGGEST MURDER MYSTERY" to be solved. By the way such murder mysteries occur everyday and not one but many. Media people are also one among us. Its we who have to decide what is good for us, a murder mystery given undue attention or a terrorist activity which signifies a security loophole.
After all, whats in demand sells the most......

yes u r very apt in saying that.infact its all abt TRP and journalism is loosing its sheen and deviating away from the usual disscusions and news.. they better would have educated people abt the hottest topic of inflation and nuke deal which in the minds of a normal person is way to abstract..any ways very well written..best of luck :)
