An Open Letter to the Media

Dear Media,

I am writing today to request you on behalf of my fellow Indians.We adore you. We appreciate your generosity of time, energy, ink and airtime. we continue to see record growth for a grass roots message that touches us all. Now as much as we worship the ground you walk on, we need to ask a little favor.

Media is considered as another form of government which can be used to fight against many powerful things. In a democratic country like India, Media is considered as the important means of forming public opinion. The world can change for the better if everyone is informed about the facts of the crime at the right time. We simply need the truth to get common knowledge so that the War on Crime can be ended and Justice is served.

All you have to do with your pen is simple..

• Give us real facts.
• Get to some real news broadcast.
• Give the truth about the land mafia.
• Write about Drought happening in India, the economic crisis, and the positive steps that needs to be taken to come out of this.
• Voice out our real problems to the government.
• Bring out the truth and become a change event.
• With you mode of communication you can become the "Junta ka Awaaz", A real HERO.

Its ok If Yuvraj singh gets a new girl friend. We are fine if Amitab Bachan catches cold. We are not interested in Rakhi Sawant Swayamvar. We are not drunk enough to watch all this crap. If YSR is dead in Chopper crash, We already mourned for almost a week. Its not end of the world, we need to move on. We don’t need you to be pimps for movies people,politicians and celebrities. We don't need your meaningless, senseless debates and the follow up questions.

Some of the blunders you have been doing, and you still continue to do are.

"Nun was gang raped and priest brutally assaulted in Kandhamal, Orissa". This has been on the name of RSS. Politicians play all these different cards for their selfish interests. In a country with different kinds of culture, langauge and religion, they find it easy to do this.

Women were being physically abused, assaulted and brutally murdered. They are becoming the victims of ragging and many other psycho lovers. All you could do is shoot the video and broadcast all over the media, repeating it over 500 times. By doing this you could only instigate fear among the public. Instead you could stop the event and give a confidence to them.

Chennai Law college students are bet to death. Its seriously an issue with Law and order.

Remember that the media is the most powerful entity on earth. You have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent, and that's power.Because You control the minds of the masses. But Now you are so compelling and so filled with sex, that you have become our true sex educators. What You the mass media offering is not the real news, but entertainment which is intended to be consumed like food, forgotten, and replaced by a new dish.

Please be loyal to yourself and fight against injustice. Undress the crime. Bring the awareness in people about lot many prevaling issues of the country which needs immediate attention.

To the rest, We have all been empowered by the web: everyone with a keyboard can now effectively broadcast to a national audience. In a sense, it puts each of us on the same footing as the major media conglomerates.

So lets get Started...

Yours Sincierly,
Lonesailor.
